Updated: June 9, 2008, 10:17 AM EST The New York Giants will begin their road to a defense of their Super Bowl title when mini-camp begins on Wednesday. That defense, however, will be attempted without the services of their team leader Michael Strahan. After a lengthy and — for Strahan — up-and-down decision-making process, Strahan said he's hanging up the cleats and wanted to finalize a decision before his teammates gathered for their mini-camp. For months fans, other players and his own teammates have wondered whether he would return or not. GMScud 06-09-2008, 01:10 PM Good for him. He went out on top. And I'm glad we don't have to face him twice a year anymore. skinsguy 06-09-2008, 01:10 PM Was expecting this! Daseal 06-09-2008, 01:10 PM Strahan was a great player. Hands down hall of famer and seemingly a pretty good guy. We'll be seeing him on TV shortly. MTK 06-09-2008, 01:12 PM Good call on his part. He's got a ring and a Hall of Fame resume. No sense in riding it out any further. skinsfan_nn 06-09-2008, 01:14 PM He had a really good season last year and the giants won the SB. Couldn't think of a better way to call it quits. Glad we don't have to deal with him anymore. That does leave a pretty big void at DE for the giants, who's next in line? SmootSmack 06-09-2008, 01:16 PM He knew he wouldn't be able to beat out Wynn in camp :) skinsfan_nn 06-09-2008, 01:38 PM He knew he wouldn't be able to beat out Wynn in camp :) Yea good point no way MS could have beat out RW or Tuck........:goodjob: ESPN - Giants DE Strahan to retire after 15 years, seven Pro Bowls - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3433557) BleedBurgundy 06-09-2008, 01:40 PM Good for him. I guess Fox made him a pretty decent offer. firstdown 06-09-2008, 01:46 PM I think he changes his mind after training camp is just about over and comes back for another season and another 6 to 8 mill. If I'm corect he is still hurting a little for cash after his wife got most of his in their div. and he still has something left in his tank. He just does not want to spend the time in camp and playing those waist of time preseason games (thats is a waist of time for a vet D lineman). I've been wrong before.
