I feel I can give 100 percent. I don't have any limitations. I'm sick of watching."

Lawrence Tynes will remain the kicker for the Giants for the next five years after agreeing to a 5-year, $7 million deal on Monday according to the NY Star Ledger. The deal is not yet complete, they are still working on some language, but it appears to be almost finished. Tynes put up 109 points last season and was 8-for-8 on 40+ yard kicks though he faltered a bit on kicks from 30-39 yards (5-for-8). Still, Tynes converted 11 of his last 12 kicks during the regular season, and the team was willing to pay for that.
