Thank you Mathias Kiwanuka. You're team first, unselfish ways are a testament to your character. One of my favorite Giants and always thought you would have made an excellent team captain. I'd hate to see you in another uniform so I selfishly wish you retire but I wish you the best success in the future to you and your family. Thank you for being an exemplary athlete and class act.

It's so hard to write these release stories without them feeling like an obit. Kiwi is 31. Has a lot of life and opportunity ahead of him.
Moving you to linebacker may have made sense to some, but in my opinion it was an act of desperation driven by management's inability to draft a decent linebacker. It hurt your career and I don't think it helped the Giants all that much.
how his career would have gone if he just stayed at DE. Anyway, a nice contributor to 2 SB teams. Was real happy for him in '11 because he had missed the playoffs in '07.
of key players in our recent rings. Now, I consider him the last of the proud warrior defenders who held the mighty Patriots to 31 points in two Super Bowls.
In your old age, sir, we will remember you with great admiration and gratitude.
Kiwi,s name will always be synonomous with class and
the personification of team first. You played wherever the Giants asked you to, and without a gripe. Super Bowl champions are built on players like you. Giant fans will always honor you for your play and behavior. Thanks, and best of luck.
Kiwi did everything asked of him, and in some ways, he would have been probably been better off not playing ball that way. He played his ass off for us, put his body and career on the line, and did it all with class. Kiwi is the man!
We appreciate everything you gave to this organization! You are one of the few Giants my son was able to get an Autograph from and it was appreciated.
Best of luck in the next phase of your life.

2. never had a negative word to say
3. was moved around to different positions without a single gripe
4. was a great teammate
the worst thing he did for me was not tackle vince young
Granted,
He was paid well for accepting those roles and lasted 9 years and enjoyed 2 championships
In your old age, sir, we will remember you with great admiration and gratitude.
Way to take a thread appreciating Kiwi and piss on it by slamming fellow fans.
And then some.
Thank you, Kiwi.

Best of luck in the next phase of your life.
