According to ABC-11 out of North Carolina, the New York Giants recently ripped up the old contract of starting tackle David Diehl and gave him a new six-year, $31 million contract.
The deal has an annual escalator clause that will increase his salaries between $750,000 and $1.1 million a year as long as he plays offensive tackle.
Diehl, 27, came to the Giants six years ago, drafted by the team in the 5th-round of the 2003 draft, and has never missed a start since day one, playing in 80 consecutive games. He was in the the third year of a $15.5 million deal that was set to expire after the 2011 season.
