According to ESPN.com’s John Clayton, Giants’ defensive end Michael Strahan is “60-40” on retiring before the season starts.

Officially, Michael Strahan is undecided about his future. But he looks and sounds like a player who is going to retire before training camp.

Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce went on the radio and said he thought Strahan was gong to retire. Last summer, he almost did retire. Clearly he doesn’t want to come to training camp, and Tom Coughlin isn’t going to give him a pass that will allow him to take the summer off.

Put the odds at 60-40 for a retirement announcement before training camp.

The key here is that Strahan doesn’t want to go to training camp. He never wants to go to training camp, so take all the retirement talk with a grain of salt. He pulls this crap every year around the same time.
