The Facts:
Toomer finally has his Super Bowl ring, after 12 seasons with the Giants. He doesn't want to stop there. Toomer is one of the very few elder statesmen on the Giants, but he told Newsday that he's not ready to turn in his helmet and let the young kids take over. "I haven't thought about retiring at all," he said Thursday. "There are still some things I want to accomplish."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Toomer, who will be 34 in September, was instrumental in the Giants' run to Super Bowl XLII and served as Eli Manning's top target against the Patriots, making six catches for 84 yards. Toomer finished the postseason with a team-high 22 catches and three touchdowns, equaling his touchdown total from the regular season. Toomer is entering the final year of his contract. He's due $3.1-million for 2008, with a $500,000 roster bonus coming next month. The Giants have had no discussions about extending or restructuring the deal, and a person close to the situation said even Toomer isn't interested in negotiating anything new just yet. In case you haven't been paying attention, Toomer is the all-time Giants leader in catches (620), receiving yards (8,917), touchdown catches (50) and 100-yard receiving games (22). He holds all the postseason receiving records too.
