EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan retired Monday after a 15-year NFL career with the New York Giants that was capped by a Super Bowl title four months ago.
The 36-year-old Strahan, the NFL's active leader in sacks, informed the front office in the morning without telling his coaches and teammates.
"I'm just finding out about it; let me get organized," coach Tom Coughlin said after a team workout.
Strahan is walking away from a $4 million salary for the final year of his contract. He has long said he wants a job in television.
Attention whore Michael Strahan retired today. He has been "deciding" about his future since the Super Bowl, which was 4 months ago. This really kills the Giants chances of repeating.
