Jags turned down two Vikings offers

ESPN.com news services

Jacksonville Jaguars: Despite criticizing the Jaguars repeatedly and openly pleading for a trade, it appears that strong safety Donovin Darius will remain in Jacksonville, The Florida Times-Union reported.

Darius was seeking a deal to either the Vikings or Dolphins after being designated the Jaguars franchise player for the third consecutive year.

The Jaguars turned down a pair of deals from Minnesota. One was a swap of first-round picks, giving the Jags the No. 7 pick while the Vikes would take No. 21. The other offer for Darius was a third-round draft pick.

Minnesota's interest in Darius ended when the Vikings signed former Packers safety Darren Sharper.

New York Giants: Defensive end Michael Strahan was charged with harrassement and issued a restraining order from his wife after an argument last Thursday night at the couple's home, The Montclir Times reported.

"Michael has made us fully aware of the allegations," Pat Hanlon, the Giants' vice president of communications, told The New York Post Sunday. "This situation is a private family matter for Michael and his wife and Michael has said he will conduct himself accordingly. We are supportive of the Strahans and wish to respect their privacy."

Police said Strahan turned himself in approximately two hours after his wife, Jean, was brought to the police headquarters.

The incident is considered a domestic violence case, which will likely be heard in family court in Newark. However, Jean Strahan did not allege there had been any physical contact during the incident.

I'd give a 3rd rounder for Darius if Donnie Henderson felt he would fit the Jets defense...

Shame about Strahan. I saw him and his wife on a home remodeling show a few years ago and they seemed like a real happy couple.
