“This give me peace of mind, definitely,” Unmenyiora said in a team news release. “We just resolved a situation. It really was affecting me in a bad way. Because I don’t like all the negativity that was surrounding the whole situation. I can’t stand it, because if you know me, you know I’m not that type of person. I’m just happy all that is over with and I’ll be there. I’ll play out this contract, I’ll play this year and I’ll play my heart out.”

Unmenyiora has been with the Giants since 2003, winning two Super Bowls with the team during that time. This past season, he recorded 25 tackles and nine sacks. He will become a free agent at the end of the 2012 season.
