ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese hasn't talked to holdout defensive end Michael Strahan in a while and has no clue when the seven-time Pro Bowl player will make a decision on whether to retire.

"We would like for him to be here if he's going to be here, just for him to get some work," Reese said Thursday at training camp at the University at Albany. "Michael knows that if he's going to come back, he has to get some work in. You just can't show up and play in the National Football League.

The Giants are fining the 35-year-old Strahan $14,288 for each day he misses. His three-week total is now $300,048.

On NFL Access tonight, they made it sound like he might be coming back.
They also made it sound like the reason he isnt there is that he just doesnt like training camp.
Wish I could have picked and chose what things I was going to do at my job when I was working.

Bette, that's the feeling I get. That he's waiting for camp to end before coming back. Deal with the fines and move on.

Or he could just call it a career...but I doubt that.
