Giants LB Jonathan Casillas doesn't want to get traded to the Patriots -- or anywhere else

EAST RUTHERFORD -- It makes perfect sense.

Linebacker Jonathan Casillas is in the final year of his contract with a Giants team that is going nowhere. Casillas' former team, the Patriots, just lost linebacker Dont'a Hightower for the season with a torn pec as they gear up for another Super Bowl run.

So, would Casillas welcome a reunion before Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline?

"I've played there. I've got a great relationship with (coach) Bill (Belichick) and (defensive coordinator) Matt Patricia and those guys over there. But, I want to be here," Casillas said on Monday.
