"If you can't make a hard decision in this business, you shouldn't be in this business."There's always change," he added ominously, "and there will be change this time."
Reese, who last offseason let wideout Steve Smith leave as a free agent and waived offensive linemen Shaun O'Hara and Rich Seubert, faces big decision this offseason on defensive endOsi Umenyiora, running back Brandon Jacobsand Super Bowl XLVI hero Mario Manningham. Manningham is reported to be bound for the Tampa Bay Buccaneersas a free agent.
"There are always some hard decisions to make," Reese told the Daily News, "especially when there are some Giants who have been on this team for a long time, and we have to go in a different direction.
"It's never personal. It's always business."Jacobsmight restructure his dealto stay with the Giants. Jacobs is scheduled to receive a $500,000 roster bonus next month and a $4.4 million salary next season.
Reese told the newspaper that an Umenyiora extension "could happen" but made no guarantees, and said Saturday
he wasn't sure if the defensive end would be willing to accept a hometown discount.
Meanwhile, Reese has 21 unrestricted free agents in all, includingVictor Cruz, who made only $490,000 while finishing with a team-record 1,536 receiving yards

It actually makes for the excitment for the following season; and it really tells you if your team has Superbowl intentions, with a good management staff at the helm.
cheers
Go Broncos!
