New York Giants impending free-agent DE Justin Tuck's agent, Doug Hendrickson, believes his client will be one of the best available defensive ends on the market if he's allowed to reach free agency next month. "Justin is by far the most complete D-end in the class," Hendrickson said. "He can play the 4-3, he can play the 3-4." The Giants plan to speak with Tuck's representatives this weekend, and the two sides have remained in contact, but no deal appears imminent.

New York Giants DEs Mathias Kiwanuka and Justin Tuck were each forced to play 100 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 12 game against the Washington Redskins Monday, Dec. 2, with the team shorthanded along the defensive line. DE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) is dealing with a serious shoulder injury. Tuck feels he and Kiwanuka could tough it out for the whole month if need be. "I think we can," Tuck said Monday, Dec. 2. "One thing we've been able to do all season is keep our bodies in great shape, staying on top of things in the weight room, making sure we're eating the right things. I think we're in good shape to go."

New York Giants DE Justin Tuck is in the final year of his contract, and he said he has been rejuvenated and healthier than he's been in any training camp since 2010.

Fantasy Tip: It sounds like Tuck could be a fairly nice sleeper in fantasy leagues which use individual defensive players (IDPs). That carrot of a big payday coupled with good health is very important.

The New York Giants need DLs Mathias Kiwanuka, Jason Pierre-Paul and Justin Tuck to get after the quarterback and improve the pass rush in 2013. With DL Osi Umenyiora (Falcons) gone, the team will be looking for a fourth pass rusher to emerge. DLs Damontre Moore, Adewale Ojomo, Adrian Tracy and Justin Trattou will all have opportunities to show what they can do during training camp and the preseason.

New York Giants DE Justin Tuck said he is not worried about his contract situation, and will not let that dictate his play in 2013. "I am not going to allow this whole circumstance to put pressure on me to perform," he said of his contract year. "I put enough pressure on myself to perform. I am not even thinking about contract-wise. I don't care if I come out in the first three games [and] I have 10 sacks. ... I don't want to hear about contract at all. That is not my focus." "I am worried about getting this football team to another Super Bowl and winning it," Tuck added. "If that happens, then all the rest will take care of itself."

New York Giants LB Mathias Kiwanuka will take a starting position opposite Justin Tuck at defensive end while DE Jason Pierre-Paul (back) recovers from back surgery. Kiwanuka was already moving back to defensive end before the Pierre-Paul surgery. "There's no doubt in my mind," Kiwanuka said of holding down the starting spot in Pierre-Paul's absence. "That's the position I came into this league playing and I'm looking forward to the opportunity. Obviously we'd love to have him back and I'm sure he'll be back ready to go at a certain point. We're not gonna rush him back for any reason."

"Say he does end up with us, hopefully that is something I can help him with," Tuck said. "And help other guys. I can move the conversation on and say, 'Listen man, he made a mistake.' Hopefully, wherever he ends up, there is a vet guy with that same mentality because the guy can play football."

As long as both sides feel it's beneficial to the football team," Tuck said. "We've had a lot of great years with Brandon, too. I'm not opposed to it in any regard. But that's a decision for [general manager Jerry Reese] as far as how he's building this team moving forward But yeah, I would love to see Brandon back."

"Those decisions aren't easy decisions. I'm sure [general manager Jerry Reese] and everyone up there had some tough times and some tough conversations about them, but they felt as though it needed to happen, and they went forward with it."
