Giants | Justin Tuck wants Osi Umenyiora to get paid

New York Giants DL Justin Tuck has gone to bat for DL Osi Umenyiora by saying he feels the team should award Umenyiora a new contract. "It's hard," Tuck said. "He's signed a contract and I believe in abiding by that contract, but also I think he's outplayed that contract in today's market. And how some of these defensive ends are getting paid lots of money, I think he deserves to get paid." Umenyiora is unhappy with his current contract. He is set to make just under $4 million in the final season of the seven-year, $41-million contract he signed in 2005.
