      <title>Ramses Barden Reluctantly Re-Signs With The Giants</title>
      <description>The New York Giants have re-signed wide receiver Ramses Barden. Barden attempted to hit it big in free agency but he doesn&#8217;t really have the track record to command big-time interest. He has raised his major statistics in each of the last four seasons, all with the G-Men, but that isn&#8217;t saying much. He finished 2012 with 14 receptions for 220 yards and one quality game in which he crossed the century mark. But he still doesn&#8217;t have an NFL touchdown and still hasn&#8217;t played a full season without missing games. His best bet was to comeback to a team and quarterback that know him and try to make 2013 a standout year.
What Barden does have is great size at 6-6, 224 lbs. If he can put it together this season and play with some consistency, there is a chance he can be a regular contributor for the Giants and actually strike it rich next offseason. But don&#8217;t look for him to be a sleeper in fantasy drafts. He&#8217;ll be parked behind Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks and Rueben Randle.

      <title>All mixed up: Hakeem Nicks agent says no-show was Giants issue</title>
      <description>New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks came under fire for not attending the first day of offseason training activities. 

	According to Jason Cole of Yahoo Sports, Nicks agent Peter Schaffer disputes coach Tom Coughlin&#8217;s point of view, saying there shouldn&#8217;t be any &#8216;hard feelings.&#8217;

	Cole writes:

	&#8216;Nick's agent Peter Schaffer has declined to discuss with Y! Sports why Nicks missed Wednesday's session.

	However, Giants coach Tom Coughlin had hard feelings about Nicks' absence Wednesday because, apparently, he had not been informed about why Nicks not in attendance.

	Coughlin said he had expected Nicks to be there.&#8217;</description>

Even though Barden is now back, it doesn&#8217;t mean he&#8217;ll make the Giants final roster.

      <title>Giants FB Henry Hynoski needs knee surgery</title>
      <description>The New York Giants may have to start looking for a fullback.

Starter Henry Hynoski will have surgery Friday to repair his medial collateral ligament and a chip fracture in his left knee. The three-year veteran was hurt Wednesday on the second play from scrimmage during an 11-on-11 driil at an organized team activity.

''I am going to set my mind to being ready for the first game of the regular season,'' Hynoski said Thursday. ''They said that is not an unrealistic goal, and I will do everything in my power to be ready for the start of the season.''

Hynoski was the only fullback on the roster at the workout on Wednesday. Veteran tight end Bear Pascoe has played some fullback for New York in recent seasons.

Hynosski, who is using mostly as a blocking back for Ahmad Bradshaw in his first two seasons, had five carries for 20 yards last season. He also caught 11 passes for 50 yards and a touchdown in his second season as a starter.

The Giants signed Hynoski as an undrafted free</description>

It sounds like Hynoski could still be ready for the regular season.

It seems like Hynoski tore his MCL. &#160;We don&#8217;t have any idea if it&#8217;s a partial of full tear.

      <title>Giants fullback Henry Hynoski carted off on first day of OTAs</title>
      <description>New York Giants Henry Hynoski collided with running back Andre Brown during the team's first day of organized team activities.

	He had to be carted off the field and will undergo an MRI Thursday for an injury to his left knee.

	&#8220;He kind of got (his leg rolled up on) and so we are taking a look at that,&#8221; head coach Tom Coughlin said, via Dave Hutchinson of the Newark Star-Ledger. &#8220;I said a few prayers and I&#8217;ll continue until I hear what it is.&#8221;

	Per PFT: 'Hynoski appeared in all 16 games for the Giants last season. He carried the ball five times for 20 yards and caught 11 passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Tight end Bear Pascoe will likely pick up the duty in the backfield if Hynoski is going to miss a significant portion of time.'</description>

      <title>Aaron Curry: Money changed me</title>
      <description>Remember when everyone was gushing over Aaron Curry as a future NFL star and arguably the top defensive player and safest pick heading into the 2009 NFL Draft? &#160;Whatever happened to him and how did all of the &#8220;experts&#8221; get it so wrong? Like&#160;Dallas Cowboys&#160;wide receiver&#160;Dez Bryant, it turns out the former 2009 first round pick (No. 4 overall) out of Wake Forest let things go to his head, admitting that the money changed him and caused him to lose his motivation. &#8220;Early in my career, I was just selfish and self-centered,&#8221; Curry said via the&#160;Newark Star-Ledger. &#8220;I was more about me than I was the Seahawks at the time. I was more focused on my own desires versus the franchise and the team. It was immaturity, and I&#8217;m glad I got past that stage.&#8221; Photo Credit: Giants.com Curry signed a&#160;six-year, $60 million deal with $34 million guaranteed in 2009. &#160;He&#160;appeared in 35 contests (30 starts) and registered a total of 156 tackles with just 5.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in almost two and a ...</description>

      <title>Giants reportedly may bring back Ramses Barden</title>
      <description>According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, free agent wide receiver Ramses Barden might re-sign with the Giants after testing the open market.

Barden, the Giants&#8217; third-round pick in 2009, is heading back to the New York area and will take a physical with team doctors on Thursday, the Daily News has learned. And if all goes well for the unrestricted free agent, according to an NFL source, he could sign a one-year deal to return before the end of the day.

It is not believed that Barden&#8217;s possible return has anything to do with worries about the absence of Cruz or Nicks. The Giants seem to expect Cruz will be re-signed in the coming weeks. And while Nicks&#8217; absence from the start of organized team activities (OTAs) on Wednesday was unexplained &#8211; and seemed to irk Tom Coughlin &#8211; the team seems to expect him back this week and he has been participating in the offseason program.

      <title>Giants new LB Aaron Curry admits the money made him lose motivation</title>
      <description>Aaron Curry never lacked motivation during a four-year career at Wake Forest in which he received the Butkus Award as the nation&#8217;s finest linebacker in 2008, but something happened when he went to the NFL.
I remember NFL Scouts like Mike Mayock saying that he was the can&#8217;t miss pick, and he turned out to be one of the biggest busts in Seahawks history. He has since been cut by the Raiders and was just recently signed by the New York Giants.
Curry admitted that the money made him lose motivation.&#160;&#8221;I was just selfish and self-centered,&#8221; Curry said. &#8220;I was more about me than I was the Seahawks at the time. I was more focused on my own desires versus the franchise and the team. It was immaturity, and I&#8217;m glad I got past that stage.&#8221; Curry inked a six-year, $60 million deal with $34 million guaranteed in 2009. He lasted just two and a half seasons in Seattle, and he surely isn&#8217;t the first or last rookie that felt invincible after receiving a fat paycheck.
Well he will not get too many mo...</description>

      <title>Report: Hakeem Nicks skipped OTA&#8217;s because he wants a new contract</title>
      <description>We reported earlier today that New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks didn&#8217;t show for the start of OTA&#8217;s.
According to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, Nicks decided not to show up because he&#8217;s unhappy about his contract and wanted to send the Giants a message.
As if the&#160;New York Giants&#160;and&#160;Victor Cruz&#160;weren&#8217;t involved in enough of a stare down, fellow wide receiver&#160;Hakeem Nicks&#160;sent the team a little message by not showing up for practice Wednesday.
&#160;
Pay day is coming soon for Nicks, too.
&#160;
That was the unstated goal of Nicks&#8217; not attending the Giants&#8217; organized team activity practice, a source indicated Wednesday. Strictly speaking, Nicks didn&#8217;t violate any rules. OTAs are, after all, voluntary. However, in the lexicon of NFL, voluntary is a synonym for mandatory.
Unlike Cruz, Nicks is currently under contract. &#160;If he holds out, he can be fined by the Giants. &#160;Since OTA&#8217;s a voluntary he cannot and will not be fined. &#160;I can&#8217;t imagine Nicks holding out through mini-camp and train</description>

      <title>Giants kick off OTA without WRs Cruz and Nicks</title>
      <description>Coach Tom Coughlin and the New York Giants knew Victor Cruz wouldn't show up for the organized team activity without a contract, so his absence was expected.

Not so with fellow receiver Hakeem Nicks.

Nicks surprised Coughlin Wednesday when he failed to show up for the team's first voluntary workout. The coach was given no explanation.

Nicks' agent, Peter Schaffer, did not immediately return an email by The Associated Press seeking comment.

Nicks had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in the offseason so it is doubtful he would have been able to participate fully in the workout anyway. Louis Murphy played well with Cruz and Nicks missing.

Also, fullback Henry Hynoski hurt a knee early in the workout and did not return.</description>

      <title>Hakeem Nicks no-show for offseason training activities leaves Tom Coughlin, Giants fans confused</title>
      <description>New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks threw a curveball at his coach Tom Coughlin and fans who thought he would be at offseason training activities.  	After being interviewed the night before and saying he was looking forward to a &#8216;leadership role&#8217; among the receivers, Nicks was a no-show at Giants OTAs.  	His absence left Coughlin speechless and very unhappy.  	The Giants two starting receivers both were noticeably absent and while Victor Cruz wasn&#8217;t expected to be there, Nicks threw a curveball no one saw coming.  	When asked about Nicks, Coughlin replied sharply:  	&quot;I don't know,&quot; Coughlin said. &quot;He should be here.&quot;  	According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, Nicks provided the biggest surprise of the day.  	Vacchiano writes:  	&#8216;Coughlin added that Nicks would have likely worked with some &quot;limitations&quot; to protect the knee he injured last season. None of that happened, however, because Nicks was not in attendance.&#8217;</description>

      <title>Mark Herzlich lined up as the Giants starting middle linebacker during OTA&#8217;s</title>
      <description>According to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPNNewYork.com, Mark Herzlich was the Giants starting middle linebacker during today&#8217;s organized team activities.
First team linebackers: Herzlich at MLB and Paysinger and Rivers at OLBs

With Chase Blackburn gone, it makes sense that Herzlich will get the first crack at being the Giants starting middle linebacker.

      <title>Giants fullback Henry Hynoski carted off during OTA&#8217;s</title>
      <description>According to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPNNewYork.com, Giants fullback Henry Hynoski ended up being carted off the field during today&#8217;s practice.
Hynoski just got carted to the locker room after going down with an unknown injury.
&#8212; Ohm Youngmisuk (@NotoriousOHM) May 22, 2013

After practice, Giants head coach Tom Coughlin didn&#8217;t have an update on Hynoski&#8217;s status.&#160;Hopefully the Giants didn&#8217;t lose him to a serious injury. &#160;He&#8217;s arguably one of the NFL&#8217;s best fullbacks.

      <title>Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nick don&#8217;t show up for Giants OTA&#8217;s</title>
      <description>Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz wasn&#8217;t expected to show up for this week&#8217;s voluntary organized team activities and he didn&#8217;t, according to Ohm Youngmisuk ofESPNNewYork.com.
The Giants were also missing their other top receiver, Hakeem Nicks. &#160;Head coach Tom Coughlin expressed some disappointment that he didn&#8217;t show up, per Art Stapleton of the Bergen Record.
Nicks would have likely been limited because of his knee, but teams still expect players to show up.

      <title>Giants&#8217; Hakeem Nicks is taking on a leadership role with young receiving corps</title>
      <description>New York Giants receiver Hakeem Nick is qualified to become a leader for the team.

	He&#8217;s won a Super Bowl with them, fought through injuries, and now he&#8217;s the oldest player in the group.

	The Giants think a lot of Nicks, so much so they won&#8217;t pay the ultra productive Victor Cruz more that what they will eventually re-sign Nicks for.

	They see him as the leader of the receiving corps and part of that evolution is taking the young kids under his wings.

	&quot;A lot more guys come up to me for questions,&quot; Nicks said, via Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News.

	&quot;I've always been willing to take the role of leader.&quot;

	&quot;In the wide receiving room, I've been around the longest,&quot; he said. &quot;I've just got to take it stride for stride.&quot;

      <title>Giants&#8217; defense regressed under Perry Fewell&#8217;s leadership</title>
      <description>Since 2010, the New York Giants&#8217; defense has gone from being a top ten unit to one of the worst defenses in the NFL in 2012, ranked as low as 31st overall. It also doesn&#8217;t help that Osi Umenyiora left for the Falcons without many options to replace his production. Justin Tuck and Corey Webster are getting older. Antrel Rolle is overpaid and the linebacker position continues to be neglected with unproven talent and injury risks... Read more</description>
