Chris Snee done for season most likely

Giants G Chris Snee likely headed to IR today and the operating table soon thereafter. Tried to rehab it. Not responding.

makes the most sense. if the beason trade goes through and will hill is active they need two roster spots. Plus they'll likely need a 3rd if they have to active Charles James from the PS b/c Webster, Hosley, and Ross are all injured.

I wouldn't be surprised to see one other player IR'd too.

Gladiator=Chris Snee

that started with Eli. Good luck, Chris!

Too many forget how awesome he was in his prime. His body fell apart last year, and he was contemplating retirement.

Good luck to CS, hope the rehab goes well.

great Giant, but like Diehl, he needs to retire.

news - was a matter of time. and he will announce retirement at the end of the season

I'm as greatful for Snee's contributions as anyone but having a son in the Army I'm getting a little tired of the "Warrior" moniker being applied to professional athletes.

is that this is it for Snee and prevents an uncomfortable dilemma for TC..

If so, Thanks for a wonderful career here and two SBs..I can't imagine the pressure of being n the lockerroom all these years with your father-in-law as the HC..He certainly rose above it. Way above it, imo

football is a tough sport to have a long career in. Snee was a bedrock for us when healthy

.

hopefully for his sake he decides to retire as his body just seems like it can't take the pounding anymore. a really excellent giant for many years.

I could see him coming back, as he doesn't want to end it like this. And he'll probably be reinserted back into the starting lineup & it'll be a disaster.

I hope that doesn't happen, but if Snee & TC both return in '14, you know it's going to happen.

Great, great Giant. But it's time for him to call it a career.

of all time but he was done last year.

for Coughlin's speedy retirement.

I'm willing to bet nothing changes this offseason.

@RVacchianoNYDN: Giants G Chris Snee is likely headed to IR today. His injured hip needs surgery. Season-ending. Possibly career-ending too. #NYG

and a damn fine guard. However he needs to call it a career but I am terrified that he is going to attempt a comeback and Coughlin will hand him a starting job next year and he plays just as bad as he was the past two years.

I am a Army and war veteran myself. It never ceases to amaze me when people are offended by references to players as warriors. Who cares? It's no reflection on me, your son, or any other soldier that has fought for our country. I have many many friends that are veterans, and not one of them could care less if a football player is called a warrior. It doesn't belittle what we've done one iota. Life's too short my man.

and a hell of a Giant.

even though it is done by committee. Snee being back next year bucks common sense for his cap hit alone. Factor in his age, injury history, and injury situation now, and it's a recipe for disaster. It looks like we've seen the last of him on the playing field in Carolina about 2 weeks ago in a Giants uniform.

You were a warrior on the field and a Great Giant!

hit if we cut him?

Rehab well, and go enjoy the wife and kids full time.
When healthy you were a wall.

a class act and was able to succeed in a situation that most would find uncomfortable (playing for his father in law).

In all, as we have been discussing, Snee will most likely end up not passing the team physical in February and that will take the sting out of where we all know this was going. Snee is too hurt to play at a high level and his cap number is too high. He will go out just as O'Hara and Suebert did and will retire a Giant.

.

He's been a great Giant from the day he got here. As my dad always said, "getting old sucks".

Chris has given this team and it's hard to believe his career as a NFL player is going to end so fast. I'm not sure it's faster than normal or I'm just aging faster but he will be missed and he already is being missed on the line.

I do agree with those who believe this is probably the end of his career and I seriously doubt he'll be back next year. They may have already known that when they restructured his salary.

Do we regain any cap space immediately? Is this possible Optimus?

Snee would apply for and get termination pay.

phil fromphilly - see my 11:55 am post

but that's life in football. Thanks for so many great years.

Great Giants and a pro bowl guard in his prime. He was the first piece to what became a very good and dominant O line. If this is it, he can be extremely proud of his career and hes got a pretty good father in law.

Have surgery a week before preseason
And play next year..if tc is here

It was time.

While I understand the team reasoning not to disclose injuries, I think Snee'd be looked at in a better light these past couple years if they acknowledged the depth of his hip issue(s) instead of the "if he's in the line up, he's healthy, so he must just suck" mentality that kind of formed around him.

Sad to see his career decline due to the injuries. He'll definitely be in the Ring of Honor at some point

He was done for the season, before the season even started

Hate to say it but I don't think I truly appreciated him in his prime until now when our O line is in shambles. I took it for granted over the years that whoever was on the other side of the ball facing him was going to get shut down.

And the pre-season showed there were breakdowns on the team.

Chis was one, unfortunately. It just happened so fast.

go fuck yourself? Who cares what you think?

a class person, typical of this org.
all the best Mr. Snee

A great GIANT. I'm guessing this will be the end - and what a great career he had. I miss the days of Snee & Seubert at guard.

Thank you for your perspective and service. Its just that my wife and I do a lot work with the Wounded Warrior Project and see first hand what true Warriors are all about. No need to tell you what a sacrifice they make for no other reason than pride in self and country. Its just a little tough for me to see the word applied to others. My comment was in no way meant to diminish the career of Snee who gave everything he had to the team. I wish him nothing but the best.

This doesn't sound good at all. Forget about football, I just hope he comes out of this pain free.

that's for sure.

What, in your mind, is a fair price for what is likely to be a lifetime of pain?

Jesus Randy. Take your medication.
