IS to July IS (when the NFL collective bargaining agreementexpired and all teams and unsigned players were forced to suspend negotiations) the Giants could have been a lot more positive.

But, until you start playing football, I guess you never know how serious the player IS. I told them, though. Over and over." Carpenter, a sixth year pro who made about $110,000 last year, was reportedly asking for $400,000 a season, while Giants assistant general manager Terry Bledsoe was responding with a $250,000 offer.

Other team members said Andy's father, perhaps in an effort to compensate for his son being on the team, was tougher on him than on any other player during the'practices.
