One of the best to anchor the New York Giants' defense in recent years is walking away from the game for good.Osi Umenyiora will sign a one-day ceremonial contract with the Giants before retiring from pro football as a member of that organization, according to multiple reports.
Umenyiora spent the last two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons on a two-year deal that expired in March, leaving him a free agent.
He tallied 2.5 sacks and 12 tackles in 16 games last season with Atlanta, also recovering a fumble for a touchdown. But 2014 was also his first outing as a pro since his rookie season that he did not record at least six sacks.
Umenyiora was a key part of the Giants' recent run of two Super Bowls in his nine years with the franchise. He also was listed to the Pro Bowl twice, compiling 435 career tackles, 85 sacks, 35 forced fumbles, an interception, and two touchdowns of his own.
