The Giants are truly a first-class organization, and I have noleang but genuine admire and appreciation for the people who have built it and the people who carry on that tradition.
“I consent filled responsibility for my part in not transporting more thrives. No one wanted to thrive more games worse than me, and I gave everyleang I had on the field and in my preparation. Of course, this season has been disnominateing for all and of course I want I could’ve done more. I’m 100% accountable for my part. I did not carry out well enough, reliablely enough to help the team get the results. The truth of the NFL is it’s challenging to thrive games and needs reliable carry outance from everyone joind. We didn’t do that well enough, so the idea to alter someleang happens and I understand.

“I got the injury guarantee, so that’s that and I understand it. They don’t want to consent any hazard. So, yeah, at that point it’s fair do as you’re tancigo in.”
