Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora doesn't think he should have spoken his mind about his unhappiness in New York. Umenyiora eight times refused to comment when asked about his role next season, a lingering hip injury, competing for a starting job, hinting about retirement or wanting a trade on Thursday.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin may pay a visit to former wide receiver Plaxico Burress in prison. Burress is in the midst of a two-year sentence on second-degree weapons charges. "Perhaps," Coughlin said when asked if he might visit. "We've talked about it, quite frankly."

Giants president and CEO John Mara has come out to publicly support changes to playoff overtime rules. However, Mara doesn't sound optimistic about a possible change. "I still think it's an uphill battle because you have to get 24 votes to change it," Mara told Bob Glauber of Newsday. "I don't know if there are enough people around the league willing to change the current system."

The Jets and Giants both will play at home in their new Meadowlands Stadium on the opening weekend of the 2010 season. The NFL says the Giants will play on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 12, while the Jets will host a Monday night game the next day. Earlier Monday, the New York Daily News reported that the Giants won a coin toss conducted by the NFL to play the first game in the stadium.

The Jets announced Saturday night that they will flip a coin with the Giants to determine which team will host the first regular-season game at their new 82,500-seat, $1.6 billion stadium. Both teams have expressed to the NFL their desire to play the opening game there. The Jets said the league will make heads or tails of it by tossing a coin in the near future. "We look forward to the coin toss," Jets spokesman Bruce Speight said.

Kenny Phillips vows to return from his injury and join newly acquired Antrel Rolle to form ?the best safety tandem in the NFL.? ?The coaches have reassured me they didn?t bring him in to replace me - - they made that very clear,? Phillips said. ?After the performance we had last year in the secondary, they had to bring someone in. It would be foolish not to. It?ll be a privilege playing next to him.?

The Giants have signed veteran Jim Sorgi to be Eli Manning's backup quarterback. Sorgi spent six seasons with Colts as Peyton Manning's backup. "Both are elite players," Sorgi said of the brothers. "I had a great time working with Peyton, and I learned a lot, obviously. The experience was invaluable as far as my development as a professional. I hate to see my time in Indianapolis come to an end, but I am as excited about working with Eli as I am sad about leaving Peyton, and I look forward to working with Eli and helping him any way I can."

The Giants lost backup quarterback David Carr to the 49ers on Sunday and they are expected to look at veteran options. According to the New York Daily News, the Giants will consider veterans Jeff Garcia and Mark Brunell as well as longtime Colts reserve Jim Sorgi.

The addition of safety Antrel Rolle could allow the Giants to run the Wildcat next season. Rolle threw a pass for the Cardinals out of the Wildcat against the Giants last season. "Once I'm here, I think they will get a pretty good feel of what kind of athlete I am," Rolle said. "Whether they're going to use me with that, I don't know yet. I hope so. I think it brings another dimension to football. It's something that also can excite the fans." New York certainly seems excited. "He's a very talented guy who was a high school quarterback and running back," coach Tom Coughlin said. "And you can see the intangibles that he brings to the table in terms of his communication skills and his energy. He's one of those upbeat guys that you really do enjoy being around. And he's very talented."

The Giants have agreed to a five-year, $37 million deal with Antrel Rolle, making him the highest-paid safety in the NFL. Rolle is guaranteed $15 million and will receive $22.5 million over the first three years, according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter. "I'm ecstatic," Rolle said in a statement released by the Giants. "The Giants are a first-class organization all the way. There are great opportunities for me, and I am excited to be working with the players I'll be working with. I think the sky's going to be the limit as to what we can do."
