Suprised to hear this, but glad to see it. I always liked him and remember being stunned he was there for us to take in the draft.

Hasn't he been out of the league for a few years now?

Patrick Peterson and Prince were top ten locks at CB, when he was around in the 20's, I was thrilled at the pick. Just never lived up to expectation. Definitely not in the same class as Peterson

Why? He was never a top player for the Giants so why extend him the courtesy usually reserved for long time Giants whose career ended elsewhere. To me ha was nothing more than a JAG.

Sorry, I am confused; maybe I missed something.

Isn't this just Prince announcing his official retirement? Is there any official action or acknowledgment by the New York Giants here? What courtesy has been extended exactly? Isn't this just a football player saying he is retiring, or did I miss something?

Thanks in advance for clarifying.

They signed him to a one day contract so he could retire as a Giant. Not a big deal but guys with a career like his usually aren't offered that courtesy.

If someone who played more than half their career with the team, what possible reason would they not extend them that courtesy?

This shows that "Once a Giant......" is not just a catchy throwaway phrase.

Don't think players all over the NFL and NCAA don't take notice of something like this.

Color this "Damn proud to have been a Giant"

I'm happy for him. He spent his first 5 seasons with the Giants. Says a lot that he wants to retire as one.

[Dgoodmantrublu]

He was a good player and a good man. Why not let him retire a Giant.

Why wouldnt the Giants do it , It is a sign of respect to the franchise if you ask me

[True Blue]

I don't understand why it has to be an earned courtesy, he spent half a decade here

[President Rick]

you just don't hear this kind of thing with other teams [having lived in many nfl markets] all that often.  you do with the Giants.  IMO it does mean something to be a Giant, and it clearly shows, as men wish to retire as Giants.

I can't wait for the meltdown when OBJ retires as a Giants.
