"We always like to add defensive linemen," the GM said in a release posted on the team's website. "We're still not sure what Michael is going to do as far as retirement goes. If Michael does retire it gives us a veteran who can play end and tackle. It gives us more veteran depth, instead of having too many young guys."
Coughlin is also quoted in the article.
“I drafted Renaldo coming out of Notre Dame and he has the versatility to play both tackle and end, which is very attractive,” Coughlin said. “We played against him when he was in Washington. Renaldo has always been a very smart, durable guy who can play multiple positions. He’s a good solid team guy and an outstanding character guy who is great for the locker room. He works well with young players. He’s a steady, heady player. Quite frankly, in our situation, we’ll be a player down if Strahan does retire and we have to protect ourselves.”
By the way, the Giants also placed linebacker Keith O’Neil on their reserve/retired list.

I can't believe Keith O' Neil is calling it a career. I think you can kiss those hopes of a repeat good bye now.
