The auction began Thursday with a news release estimating the ring to be be worth between $75,000 and $100,000.

Taylor's agent, Mark Lepselter, previously told FoxSports.com that the linebacker was unaware his son was auctioning off the ring, but was fine with his son's choice. Taylor gave the ring to his son as a gift, according to the addendum on the bidding site.

"L.T is a football LEGEND! If 1,000,000 people support him getting his ring back, then its worth it to me to buy it and give it back to him," Umenyiora wrote earlier Saturday before amending the request to 500,000 followers.

Umenyiora, who wrote that he has only met Taylor once, also tweeted he would let a random follower present the ring to Taylor.

When asked by one follower why he couldn't just buy the ring straight up for Taylor, Umenyiora wrote: "Honestly, because i dont know him. If im going to spend that kind of money, it will be because people love him and show it."

The ring has two football-shaped diamonds and 17 smaller diamonds. "Taylor" is written above a Giants helmet and "56," Taylor's number, appears below the helmet. It also has "Giants World Champions" written on it.

The ring is accompanied with two letters of provenance, one from Taylor and one from his son, to verify that it is indeed the Super Bowl ring.
