Thoughts on Kiwi

So, as you all know, Mathias Kiwanuka was placed on IR and will be out for the season. It’s a tough break for Kiwi–in his contract year, and off to a great start, he had the potential to make serious bank. But, that’s probably over. Will the Giants re-sign him? I don’t know. Depends on [...]
