Wednesday’s Giants News
Chris Mortenson of ESPN.com pointed out that the Redskins made an offer for Chad Johnson, but the Bengals rejected it. We don’t need more whining premadonna Wide Receivers in the NFC East. T.O. is more than enough for me to stomach over the course of a season. Who wants to watch a guy running around yelling “Ocho Cinco” with Hogettes in the background?
NFL.com reported that Shaun Alexander was released by the Seahawks. The Seahawks will be coming to Giants Stadium in Week 5, and I’d rather they came with Alexander then without him. What happened to Alexander? This guy was an MVP a couple of years ago. Then he had two horrific years. It looks like he lost his love for the game or something. Now Big Blue will have to face a real back in Week 5.
Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reported that the Vikings gave up three 2008 draft picks to the Chiefs for one of the best DE’s in the NFL, Jared Allen. On top of the draft picks, the Vikings had to give Allen a six-year contract worh $74 million, with $31 million in guaranteed money. This makes the Vikings ‘D’ more nasty then they already were. The Giants will close out the 2008 season against the Vikes, and we don’t need any more reasons for Eli to throw 4 INTs.
