Giants Extend Kiwi

In a bit of unexpected news, the Giants today gave Mathias Kiwanuka a 3 year extension, that lowered his cap hit for this year. We basically will now have Kiwi through 2016, which would make him one of the unlikeliest of 10 year Giants. Of course, two things are curious about this move: the timing; and what do they need the cap room for? Obviously if they are going to trade Osi, this gives them more security at the DE position, so that's why the timing is interesting. Hopefully the cap room is being made so they can extend Cruz ahead of the bigger outlays they'll have to make for Hakeem and JPP. Obviously, trading Osi would also create cap room. Interesting stuff.
