Amani Toomer & David Tyree No Where To Be Found


It seems as though two of the biggest parts of the New York Giants Super Bowl XLII championship team have fallen to the bottom of the league. Those two players are Amani Toomer and David Tyree. It seems that no teams are interested in signing either player at the moment and I don't believe anyone will be interested.


Amani Toomer had to wait until the first few weeks into training camp until he was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs. Toomer was then cut less then two weeks later. He didn't even stay on the team until the final cut. I'm sure Toomer still has good hands, but his legs aren't what they used to be. He can'tmake the cuts and it seems he has lost the burst and speed to get separation from defenders. There are quite a few teams that could use him, including the Cowboys, Bears, Dolphins and others. The only conclusion I can come up with,  is that he doesn't have what it takes to be affective in the NFL any longer.  Toomer had a great career, as he currently is the Giants all-time leading receiver and will always be remembered for his sideline tight rope catches. There is no doubt that without him, the Super Bowl would have been more difficult to win.


The only news that I heard about in regards to David Tyree is that he worked out for the St. Louis Rams but that was over three weeks ago and everything has been quiet since. David was a Pro Bowl special teams player for the Giants and will always be remembered for the amazing catch he made in the Super Bowl. It seems that injuries have caught up to him and have limited his ability to continue to have an effective NFL career. I am aware he didn't make the Giants final roster because of all of the receiver talent the Giants have. But, if he was still able to help a team, he would have been signed by someone. Injuries have been limiting him since last season and I believe his time he is finished as well.

Not like they need it now, but more validation that the Giants made the right decision with their WR corps.
