    New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora does not believe the Giants will be able to give him the contract extension he has long wanted.

    "Would I want to (stay)? I think it would be ideal," Umenyiora said while promoting the NFL Play 60 Youth Football game for Xbox 360 Kinect. "I think I would if things could be worked out. But is that going to happen? I really don't think so."

    So if that's the case, Umenyiora thinks the Giants might be better off trading him for something in return during the draft. The defensive end does not want to return without a raise and play in the final year of his deal, which is worth just under $4 million this season.

    "Next year, if I leave (after the contract is up), they won't get anything," Umenyiora said of the Giants. "Maybe they will get a compensatory pick. But that's it. So if they are going to do it, now would be the best time to (make a trade)."
