Sunday’s Giants News
Down in Miami, the Tuna cut Zach Thomas on February 14. Thomas missed most of ‘07 due to concussions and migraines. Yesterday, our division rival, the Cowboys, agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with Zach, according to NFL.com. Thomas is expected to be signed in the next couple of days, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. I’m hoping that Zach is washed up and won’t be able to contribute much because I hate when the Cowboys do stuff like this.
Moving Forward - Jerry Reese is finished with the 2007 Giants and ready to assemble the 2008 Giants. Michael Eisen lets you know what Reese’s thoughts are on that.
New York Daily News:
Plaxico Burress may want new deal - Ralph Vacchiano wrote that ”Burress’ agent declined to shoot down speculation on Saturday that the Giants’ top receiver is looking to renegotiate his deal. Burress has three years and $10.5 million left on the six-year, $25 million deal he signed in 2005, but there have been rumors that he’s looking for more. “ Plaxico had an outstanding season, on one leg no less, in ‘07 and will probably be able to squeeze some more money out of the Giants. I’m not a fan of renegotiating deals once the contract has been signed already. We also remember how Plaxico did not live up to the hype in his first few years. Ralph also provided us with the status of Jeremy Shockey who is walking without crutches, and “He has been medically cleared to resume workouts and will be ready for the start of the offseason program (March 31)” according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
