David gets a big Diehl

May
6

$$$$$ for David Diehl. A starter on the offensive line since his rookie season, Diehl has proven to be one of the Giants’ most reliable performers. After spending his first three-plus seasons at guard, Diehl was moved to left tackle at the end of the 2006 season and played the big-money spot for all of 2007.

Now he’s going to be rewarded. According to reports, Diehl will get roughly 31 million over 6 years, and the contract has clauses in it where Diehl will be paid more if he plays left takle. Seems fair.

Diehl isn’t a superstar, but he’s a dependable player and is certainly appreciated by the Giants.

    Great move to give him the extension. Diehl does a great job protecting the blind side of “MV E”.
