Osi Umenyiora's Return to Grace

ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that Osi Umenyiora is no longer disgruntled because the New York Giants have made it clear to him that: 1. they wouldn't promise him a starting defensive end job, 2. listen to his retirement threats, or 3. trade him. Umenyiora finally sounds ready to stop whining about starting and start playing football. Umenyiora's agent told Newsday that Osi will be at voluntary OTAs starting Tuesday, "with bells on." I, for one, am glad the Giants drafted Jason Pierre-Paul with their 1st round draft pick if for nothing, to show Osi that he is not the "be all end all" and that he can be replaced if need be. Osi has become a bit of a thorn and the Giants sent him a clear message that his playing time must be earned this year.
