Hakeem Nicks WR NYG
5 Hrs New York Giants Comment

Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole reports Hakeem Nicks is unhappy with his contract, which is why he didn't show up to OTAs on Wednesday.

The Giants now have a double dose of financially unhappy receivers in Nicks and restricted free agent Victor Cruz. Coach Tom Coughlin was noticeably irritated that Nicks was a no-show for "voluntary" OTAs, saying that the receiver "should be here." With Cruz seeking $8-10 million annually on a long-term deal, Cole expects Nicks to seek "closer to the range" of $10 million per year and possibly more. Nicks is expected to show up to the facility sometime this week, and we really wouldn't expect a long-term contract worked out before training camp.

Hakeem Nicks was a no-show for Giants OTAs Wednesday.

Coach Tom Coughlin was steamed by Nicks' absence from the "voluntary" sessions. "He should be here," Coughlin said after professing ignorance as to why Nicks wasn't present. Recovering from a knee scope, Nicks wouldn't have been a full participant even if he showed. Going into the final year of his rookie contract, Nicks could be looking to avoid further injury, or perhaps signaling that the time to negotiate a new deal is now.

Hakeem Nicks (knee surgery) says he's feeling "as good as I've felt in awhile."

Nicks says he hasn't had "any problems" in his recovery this offseason. Working his way back from a "minor" scope, Nicks is expected to be full-go for camp one season after a foot injury wiped out most of his offseason.

Hakeem Nicks isn't commenting on contract talks.

"I don't really negotiate my contract in the media," Nicks said Thursday. "Let my agent do that. I just play football." The 2009 first-round pick is heading into the final year of his rookie contract. The Giants are highly unlikely to let Nicks walk, but his history of leg injuries could compel them to adopt a deliberate pace in talks. Nicks would be a strong candidate for the franchise tag if no long-term deal is reached.

Hakeem Nicks (knee) said his goal is to be a full-go for training camp.

Nicks referred to his scope as a "minor procedure," but he's going to take it easy at minicamps and OTAs. Lower-leg injuries have hampered him throughout his four-year NFL career, culminating with an ugly 53/692/3 line in 13 games last year. If healthy, Nicks remains among the most physically imposing wideouts in the league.
