Starting left guard, Rich Seubert signed a contract extension that will keep him in a Giants uniform through 2012. The terms of the contract have not been disclosed, but it's not likely that he got a big raise. In all likelihood, his average salary is right on par with what he makes now. Which, in my opinion, makes it a great signing, but brings up a few other topics:
- It probably means that Reese is comfortable with David Diehl as the starting left tackle.
- If the Giants can now reach a deal with Coughlin's son-in-law, Chris Snee, the Giants will have locked up the entire offensive line for the next 4 years. This is already a top 5 unit in the NFL (in my opinion) so keeping them together for that long should make them even better. Jerry Reese will deserve major kudos if he can get Snee extended by next year.
- The Giants probably aren't looking as hard as some might think at OTs in this draft. Though the Giants can use some depth along the offensive line so it still wouldn't surprise me if they take one or two early.
NOTE: Rumors are coming from everywhere about Shockey being traded to New Orleans. Some rumors are even conflicting each other and none really seem to make sense. I still firmly believe that Shockey will be a Giant next year. I just wish the rumors would stop until a deal is done. We have Peter King to thank for stirring the pot this time.
