Giants might consider cutting Petitgout if replacement is found
With the Giants poised for a big offseason, questions have surfaced over whether OLT Luke Petitgout will be in the fold for the ’06 season. Petitgout carries a base salary for next season of about $4.5 million, and that figure doesn’t match his level of play. He started the season strong, as the entire line allowed only 12 sacks through the first eight games. But along the way, Petitgout’s play dropped off as he battled back and knee problems down the stretch. Scouts have viewed Petitgout as a better right tackle, the position he played his first four seasons in the pros but also the spot on which the team spent $12.5 million in signing-bonus money when it landed Kareem McKenzie. The problem with cutting Petitgout means the team will have to locate a left tackle. Bob Whitfield, a free agent, played well when forced into action last year, but he is 34 and has a lot of tread on his tires. The free-agent class of left tackles also is a bit thin.
