I think he was a product of the system and the front office thought it wouldn't be that much of a loss to let him leave. I was more impressed with watching Tuck, the man does everything.
The question now is do the Giants bring in a veteran or develop young talent to replace Kawika?
Statistically he is comparable to Gibril, and if it's true about the signing 3 year at 5 mil, a good bargain too. Some may gripe about his age but look at what Madison and Strahan still can do.
