Tuesday’s Giants News: Diehl Gets 6-Year Extention
The NY Giants hooked up David Diehl with a new 6-year contract extention worth about $31 million. Diehl played left tackle last season without making left tackle money. Add winning the Super Bowl to your resume, and I guess you can get a $31 million contract. Expect Diehl to be the starting left tackle for a few years because he’s getting paid to do so.

Giants reward Diehl with extension - Mike Garafolo reported that the Giants gave David Diehl a six-year, $31-million contract extension. Diehl is a stud. He bounced around the O-Line as requested by the team. He ended up playing left tackle last season when the Giants cut Petigout. Most of us never expected Diehl to be able to fill that void, but he did and deserves his extention.
