    Depends on Osi's surgery. We didn't IR him yet. There is a chance he can be back in a month, but that all depends on what the doctors see in the OR.

    Strahan turns down Giants offer to return. I give him credit but his ex-wife must be pissed.

    Seven-time New York Giants Pro Bowler Michael Strahan is staying retired.


    "This has been one of the toughest nights of my life," Strahan told FoxSports.com in a story released Tuesday afternoon. "But after long deliberation and throwing around a million scenarios in my head for the past day, I think it's just best if I stay retired."

    Tony Agnone, Strahan's agent, did not immediately return a telephone call from the Associated Press.

    Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon had no immediate comment.

    Giants general manager Jerry Reese has asked the 36-year-old Strahan to reconsider his retirement on Monday, just 48 hours after the Super Bowl champions lost Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora for the season to a knee injury in the preseason game against the New York Jets.

    Strahan needed just about a day to turn down an offer to return for a 16th season with what could have been an $8 million contract.

    "I really love my life now," he told FoxSports.com. "It's great having nobody put a finger on me. You really put yourself through an awful lot in this league, more than people realize.
