Michael Strahan Wants $8M to Not Retire
Blogcasting the National Football League, Blogcasting the NFL
N.Y. Giants defensive end Michael Strahan is scheduled to receive $4 million this coming season. He wants $8 million. Otherwise, he’s probably going to call it quits. Apparently the Giants are willing to go as high as $6 million, but Michael is really pushing the envelope here. As he enters the final year of a seven-year deal, he insists money isn’t the issue. That’s very funny. Of course money is the issue. It’s the only issue. Michael has his Super Bowl ring. He hates training camp. And he would rather not wake up Monday mornings in pain. So why doesn’t he just call it quits? Because he can make more money playing than he can in retirement. And he can still play. He had 11 sacks last season. We just need to see how badly the Giants want him back.
