David Diehl set himself up for another season with the New York Giants. It came at a price.
Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reported Tuesday that the Giants and Diehl reached an agreement in which the offensive lineman's 2013 salary was cut from $4.475 million to $1 million.

Diehl said last week on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" that he was willing to redo his contract to help the Giants lock up wide receiver Victor Cruz, who's a restricted free agent. But this move was a separate and long-planned business decision by the Giants, who only were open to bringing back Diehl on their terms.
Diehl finished last season as the Giants' starting right tackle, but third-year pro James Brewer could make a push for the starting job in training camp this year.
