The unique structure of Osi Umenyiora's contract has led the Giants defensive end to be included in the NFLPA's lockout lawsuit against the NFL.
"The union picked the guys," a source said. "And every one of them was picked for a reason."
A source claims Umenyiora was added as one of the four plaintiffs with current contracts because of the bonus-heavy structure of his six-year, $41 million deal,
When he signed the deal in 2005, it was the largest ever given to a player in his third NFL season.
