With the status of Jason Pierre-Paul so uncertain, the Giants could use a proven pass-rushing defensive end, but it will not be Osi Umenyiora.
The free-agent former Giants star is expected to retire and, a source said, has spoken to his former team about signing a one-day contract so he can officially retire as a Giant.
That signing likely will happen this summer during training camp, with Umenyiora present at the team facility to bid farewell to the Giants.
Umenyiora, 33, spent his first 10 NFL seasons with the Giants and established himself as a supreme pass-rusher, possessing a jet-quick first step that often left offensive tackles still anchored in their stance as he was bearing down on the quarterback.
