08/26/2008 - East Rutherford, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan will reportedly remain retired, turning down an offer to come back and play for the Super Bowl champions.
According to a report on FoxSports.com on Tuesday, Strahan had no problems with the money offered to him, but he did not want to put his body through the rigors of a 15th NFL season.
The Giants contacted Strahan about possibly returning to play after defensive end Osi Umenyiora suffered a season-ending injury in Saturday's preseason game against the New York Jets.
Strahan, who now works for FOX Sports as a studio analyst, retired in the offseason after helping the Giants upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
A six-time All-Pro who played the run as well as he played the pass, Strahan is the Giants' all-time sack king with 141 1/2 and the NFL's single-season sack king after recording 22 1/2 during the 2001 season.
The Texas Southern product was also named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2001 and was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection. He is only the third player to wear a Giant uniform for 15 seasons, joining Mel Hein (1931-45) and Phil Simms (1979-93).
Umenyiora will miss the entire 2008 season after suffering a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee during Saturday's 10-7 preseason loss to the New York Jets.
New York coach Tom Coughlin announced on Monday that Mathias Kiwanuka, who played strongside linebacker last season but missed the final six regular- season games and the playoffs with a broken leg, would take Umenyioras place at right end.
