Michael Strahan is in the Giants’ Ring of Honor. So is Osi Umenyiora, his former teammate and partner in crime against opposing quarterbacks. These two once-feared pass rushers are welcomed back into the building whenever they want to come by, and when they do, hugs abound.

Strahan played the entirety of his 15-year career for the Giants. Umenyiora spent his first 10 years with the Giants before finishing up with two seasons in Atlanta.

Ask them and they will tell you: All these years later, they still bleed Giants blue.

Intertwined with all their glory and affection for the franchise is a history of contract turmoil and distrust. Yes, things got ugly with Strahan, and later with Umenyiora, when they openly feuded with the team about what so many conflicts are about: money. Both players experienced moments that led many to believe, “Well, there is no coming back from this after such bitterness was exposed.’’ But they both came back.
