BlueInCanada Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yeah like Storm said I think this is more of a "Ok Osi might be gone in the not so distant future so let's make sure we keep Kiwi" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allstarjim Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Ralph Vacchiano @TheBlueScreen Close Something that could impact the Osi situation: If they draft a DE in Round 2 tonight. Buzz is they really like Clemson's Andre Branch.#NYG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Giants extend Mathias Kiwanuka's deal through 2015 By Gregg Rosenthal NFL.com Around The League editor Published: April 27, 2012 at 03:46 p.m. Updated: April 27, 2012 at 05:38 p.m. One of the New York Giants' best moves before their 2011 Super Bowl season was one of their quietest. They re-signed versatile pass rusher Mathias Kiwanuka to a low-cost, two-year deal despite the career-threatening neck injury he suffered in 2010. One year later, the Giants have rewarded Kiwanuka with a contract extension. Once again, they did it without anyone noticing. Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News noticed in the NFL Players Association contract database Friday that Kiwanuka had a new contract that lasts until 2015. NFL Network's Kimberly Jones confirmed the deal, and the Giants later announced it, although they didn't reveal terms. The database indicates that Kiwanuka's base salary dropped from $4 million to $950,000 in 2012. He is now scheduled to make $2.95 million in 2013, $4.375 million in 2014 and $4.775 million in 2015. Up-front money and bonus information is unavailable, but look for Kiwanuka to have received a big bonus to sign the contract. Kiwanuka really is the prototypical Giant. He's massive, he's intelligent, and he can rush the passer from a variety of positions. He had just 3.5 sacks in 2011 while playing mostly linebacker, but he had a great season stuffing the run with 84 tackles. The Giants have known what players to let go of for the most part in recent years, like Kevin Boss and Steve Smith. They also have known what players to reward, and Kiwanuka is a keeper. Osi Umenyiora, meanwhile, will have to wait. Jones reports Kiwanuka's contract won't have any effect on Umenyiora. So they extend him AND make some cap room. Nice work.

Sephiroth Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Glad Kiwi is locked up... but yeah, this sounds like an Osi trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlb37 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I don't want to see it happen unless we are moving up to the top of the second round.... I think if either of those teams was willing to swap 2nds and give us a 3rd we would have to consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
