http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2014/07/giants_chris_snee_to_announce_retirement_on_monday_per_report.html

@PFF_Pete: In @PFF's first 2 seasons of charting, 20007 & 2008, Chris Snee had the highest grade of any RG. #Giants

@PFF_Pete: To be clear, I don't think Chris Snee will/should make the HOF. But definitely deserves consideration. #Giants

@Jason_OTC: If Snee is indeed retiring the #Giants lose their go to guy when it comes to needing cap room

@Jason_OTC: Since 2011 Snee reworked his original deal 4 times and this year ripped out old deal to take paycut. #Giants

@Jason_OTC: @Patricia_Traina It opens up around $1.7 million in cap space once his spot is taken on the roster
