...that the Giants are interested in MeShawn. Anyone else hear this? I think it would be terrible. He's such a headcase it's not even funny, we have enough with Plax and crew, and he's getting old just like Toomer. I'm not a huge fan of getting guys after the peak of their career.

We want to get younger, not older.

Faster, not slower.

More athletic, not geriatric.

Good attitudes, not bad.


He's done.

More on that....

[size=7]Big Blue could grab Keyshawn [/size]

By RALPH VACCHIANO

One year after being pursued by the Giants, Keyshawn Johnson is available again. And though a return engagement in New York isn't likely, Tom Coughlin refused to rule it out.

"Well, let's put it this way," Coughlin said yesterday on Sirius NFL Radio. "We study every player that's available and we'll do that again in light of the fact that Keyshawn is available. We weren't necessarily thinking that he would be. Of course we made a move in the draft to help solidify that position as well, so we'll take a look at that like we do everything else."

Johnson, a 11-year veteran who turns 35 in July, was cut yesterday by the Panthers. He became expendable after Carolina drafted USC receiver Dwayne Jarrett in the second round on Saturday.

A week ago, that might have really piqued the Giants' interest. But on Saturday they drafted Jarrett's teammate, Steve Smith, six picks later (they would have taken Jarrett if he was available). One year ago, when they offered Johnson a contract worth $3 million per season, they were desperately searching for a No.3 receiver. Now they expect that role to be filled by Smith or last year's second-round pick, Sinorice Moss.

That's why team sources say another run at Johnson isn't likely, though they wouldn't completely rule it out.

The Jets, meanwhile, have ruled out pursuing the player they drafted first overall in 1996. A person familiar with their thinking said the Jets have no interest in Johnson.

Johnson couldn't be reached for comment yesterday, but it's likely he was blind-sided by the Panthers' decision. After the Panthers selected Jarrett - a player Johnson said was "much like me" during ESPN's telecast - he told the Daily News he thought it was "a good move" and said he told the Panthers to do it because "I'm only year to year anyway."

After being cut yesterday, Johnson told the St. Petersburg Times the move was "fine with me" and that he wants to play another one or two seasons.

"They said they wanted to get younger," Johnson said. "That's fine with me. I'd like to go somewhere and help someone win another Super Bowl."

Johnson caught 70 passes for 815 yards and four touchdowns last season. Contrary to reports, he was not released one week after the Panthers paid him a $3 million roster bonus. According to a league source, Johnson was recently paid $2million, which was the deferred part of the $5 million signing bonus the Panthers agreed to pay him when he signed a four-year, $14 million contract with them last year.

One of the guys on NFL Live said it best. Something to the effect of, I wish I could sign him for what he's worth and then trade him for what he thinks he's worth.

Honestly, he's a great possesion reciever who blocks his ass of in the run game. If his ego was checked, he'd be a great pick-up. Just watching him in draft coverage, it doesn't seem like that's ever going to happen with him. I could see Just Give Me The Damn Ball Again! if he ever signed in NY again.

Yes, I heard that. lol It's true though, that's for sure.

Carolina could have really used him for another year. I think his skills have diminished more than some might think. If he himself; the ego of all egos admits on national television that he probably only has one more year in him...I'm thinking that year should have been 2 years ago. :dunno:
