McKenzie

Citing a team source, the Bergen Record reports that the Giants, specifically, told McKenzie to “go shopping.” The G-Men are high on 2011 fourth-round pick James Brewer, who could compete for the right tackle job. Another option is moving LG David Diehl. McKenzie turns 33 in May. He’s missed just four starts since the 2006 season, however, and should find a taker in free agency.

McKenzie turns 33 in May and was a considerable liability in pass protection for much of the season, including the playoffs. David Diehl’s versatility gives the Giants several options at right tackle for 2012. Last year’s fourth-rounder, James Brewer, could be promoted if he excels in training camp.

McKenzie’s performance fell off a cliff last year, and he’s now 33 years old. “I’m not retired yet but you know what, we’ll go ahead and see what happens and if no one calls me then oh we’ll I guess I am,” he said. “No big deal to me.”

McKenzie left the sidelines on a cart, but the X-rays were negative.

''I feel fine,’' McKenzie said. ''I feel as good as you’d expect a professional football player to feel in Week 2.’'

The deal is for seven years, $37.5 million, with a $12.5 million signing bonus. Every deal just seems huge this offseason. McKenzie should fill-in as a solid starter for the Giants, who still need a lot of O-line help.

With Jonas Jennings signing in San Francisco, the Jets may re-enter the bidding as well.

He was carted into the locker room with the Giants down 41-10 midway through the final quarter.

An unbelievably fast healer, McKenzie will make his 39th straight start. The NY Post speculated that he might “miss some time” earlier this week, but he’ll face Arizona. McKenzie will match up with Clark Haggans on Sunday.
