Tom Coughlin
Former Giants HC Tom Coughlin told John Healy of the New York Daily News that he obviously did not agree with the team’s decision to replace him as head coach a few months ago.
“Hey, do I agree with the move? Of course not. It hurts. It hurts,” Coughlin said. “Former is not a good word. I don’t like the word, but that’s the way it is.”

In regarding to Jason Pierre-Paul, the report says that they would prefer to bring him back on a short-term deal and nowhere near the top of the defensive end market in terms of salary.
Redskins
Redskins free agent DT Terrance Knighton told Sirius XM NFL Radio that he hasn’t heard from the Redskins about an extension, but he plans to not to get emotional during free agency this year.
“I haven’t got any hint that they want me back or anything. To me personally, I haven’t heard anything,” Knighton said. “That’s one thing I’m not going to stress about. Obviously last time around I was hoping something could get done with Denver. I was praying on that, talking it up all the time whenever I talked to the media. I felt in my heart that’s where I’d be and my emotions got caught into it. This time around I understand it’s a business. I’m not really understanding why a guy like myself [who brings] what I bring to a team [is] bouncing around like this but it’ll catch up with itself.”
