Giants Sign Justin Tuck to Five-Year Deal

Regarded as one of the best pass rushers on the New York Giants, defensive end Justin Tuck has signed a new five year deal with the Giants for $30 million deal with $16 million in guaranteed money.

NJ.com: Everything Jersey

Interesting is the fact that Tuck is will be making more money than both Umenyiora and Strahan. "But it also sets up an interesting and possibly uncomfortable financial situation because Tuck is now making more than both Strahan and Umenyiora, who have been to a combined nine Pro Bowls. Umenyiora fired his agent last year and hired Tony Agnone, who also represents Strahan. It was a strong indication he's looking to renegotiate his deal, which runs through the 2012 season. Strahan, who has a team-high 16 tackles and a sack in the postseason, can certainly make the case that he hasn't lost a step and might demand a raise once again"

Boy...did the Giants save some money or what?

If he never signed the extension, it's possible he could have left for a TON more on the open market.

Great signing, even better timing.

Definitely, good signing and great timing. But, who's the say he won't try to renegotiate now?
