Ramses Barden’s hopes to follow in his fellow wide receiver’s spikes.

Giants general manager Jerry Reese was the lucky one who wound up with Victor Cruz, but he wasn’t boasting Saturday that he knew something more about the receiver two years ago than anyone else.

Fourteen NFL teams passed on Jason Pierre-Paul in the 2010 draft, and it’s fair to say most of those franchises regret the decision after he posted 16.5 sacks in his second season.

New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora will not report for his 9 a.m. ET physical with the team, but may appear later on Friday, according to a league source.

And on the third day, players take the field at the NFL Scouting Combine.

It’s been a rough run for Brandon Jacobs, who stood in front of his locker on Wednesday and offered an extended apology.

When the Giants drafted Derrick Morgan with the 15th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft Thursday night, it may have signaled to some that Osi Umenyiora’s tenure with the Giants will soon end. Giants GM Jerry Reese wasted no time in putting an end to that presumption.

Kyle Orton, a man of few interceptions, throws a poor one at a bad time for the Broncos.

One question for the New York Giants is how they’re going to replace departed veteran receivers Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer. The answer, as I see it, starts with rookie first-round pick Hakeem Nicks.

While Antonio Pierce was on the field taking part in the first training camp practice with New York Giants on Monday, a NYC grand jury was deliberating his role in the weapons charges brought against ex-teammate Plaxico Burress.

Giants general manager Jerry Reese held a press conference today and had to face numerous questions about the team’s rumored interest in trading for a wide receiver such as the Browns’ Braylon Edwards and the Cardinals’ Anquan Boldin.

When Giants head coach Tom Coughlin took the podium for a news conference on Friday, it was only a matter of time before the name of Plaxico Burress was mentioned.
