The player rep for Osi Umenyiora has spoken with 21 teams about a potential trade for the disgruntled pass rusher.
"It's not going to be long now," the agent said. "Just trying to convince them to give up that elusive first-round pick. Still working on it." That's easier said that done, especially since Umenyiora is believed to be seeking a contract in the range of Charles Johnson's six-year, $76 million deal. We don't see any team giving up a first-round pick or $10 million a year for Umenyiora.

Newsday's Tom Rock reports DE Osi Umenyiora will be traded by the end of the week.
Newsday's articles are behind a pay wall, so the details are unclear. The Seahawks, Ravens, Broncos, Chargers, and Rams were named as suitors in a previous report, and we've also seen the Browns mentioned as a candidate. Umenyiora's agent has had contract with 21 teams. It's still hard to imagine any team meeting the Giants' first-round asking price.
