Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Osi Umenyiora has put his disagreements with the New York Giants behind him.

While he wants to return to the starting lineup, the eight-year veteran says if the Giants want him coming off the bench, that's fine with him. He just wants to win, especially after a disastrous 8-8 season in which he turned into a distraction instead of a playmaker.

Umenyiora's concern is about his hip. While he won't say which one is bothering him, doctors and trainers have told him that he's going to need surgery at some point to fix it.

Umenyiora says it won't be anytime soon because he's not looking forward to another surgery.
