Strahan not in camp, possibly retiring, possibly looking for more money
Apparently Strahan is not in camp.
Lots of Giants fans joked about his divorce proceedings, saying that now he'd have to play and play hard since he can't afford to retire. The fans may have been wrong since reports are that Strahan might retire.
However, there is also speculation that this might be a ploy to get more money for playing. Considering his recent injury history, I don't see more money coming.
"Last night I talked to his agent, about 7 last night, and his agent said to me that he was contemplating retiring," said General Manager Jerry Reese. "So that is all I know right now. We have not spoken to him. We will put him on Reserve/Did-Not-Report-to-Camp, so that is what we will do with him for now. Until we get more details, that is really all I can tell you guys."
Steve Serby is critical, while Palladino adds Strahan to a list of question marks.
For now, William Joseph is at LDE according to the New York Times.
