Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress wants a new contract. Tight end Jeremy Shockey wants a new contract. Running back Brandon Jacobs wants a new contract. Defensive end Osi Umenyiora wants a new contract. More Giants than you know want new contracts.One Giant just got a new contract: Chris Snee, who signed a deal worth about $7 million a year, which will make him one of the five highest-paid guards in the league.
Snee is a good player and an important part of the defending champion Giants. He's also head coach Tom Coughlin's son-in-law. (That's Snee with wife Kate Coughlin Snee and son Dylan, the coach's grandson.) There must be a few Giants wondering if being the coach's son-in-law helped Snee get his deal done first.
Wouldn't that be an issue where you work? If the company dramatically out-performed expectations, and a lot of employees thought they deserved a raise, and most of them didn't get those raises but the boss's son-in-law did, wouldn't that raise eyebrows? I wonder what Burress, Shockey, Jacobs and Umenyiora think.
