Don't Forget Strahan
Brett Favre has already un-retired.
How about Michael Strahan?
The New York Giants likely need help at defensive end now that Osi Umenyiora probably will have to undergo season-ending knee surgery.
The Giants do have depth at the position. They have Justin Tuck penciled in to become a fulltime player. They can move former first-round draft pick Mathias Kiwanuka back to defensive end if they choose; he'd been shifted to outside linebacker because of the club's surplus at end. The Giants already added veteran Renaldo Wynn.
But losing Strahan and Umenyiora in the same offseason would be difficult to overcome. Strahan, for a second straight year, debated his retirement decision before bowing out this offseason. There were reports at the time that a lucrative new contract might have kept Strahan around for at least one more season.
He already demonstrated last season that he can be an effective player without being on hand for training camp.
What if the Giants offer him that lucrative new contract now?
Don't they have to try?

Is it me or has anyone else in town notice that Zorn has pointed every finger and thumbs that he has at Campbell, offense line, defense line, special teams, water boy, ball boy, towel boy, etc..But not once has he taken the blame for this so-called (WEST COAST OFFENSE). News FLASE Zorn, when you point a finger at someone there's (3) pointing back at you.

I would think they have to at least give it serious consideration. Strahan's going to want the lucrative contract and a whole lot of begging and pleading from the front office right down to Coughlin. I don't see it happening, but they have to at least give it a try.
