On Wednesday, the Giants told Osi Umenyiora he could no longer seek a trade after his agent was unable to secure a first-round pick in exchange for his services.

Yeah, it’s not surprise the defensive end is not taking it too well.

Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports Umenyiora was “fuming” when he found the news out about the limited trade talks, and is more upset now than when the process started. With that in mind, the Giants told Osi he could stay away from practice Wednesday night to clear his head. He showed up instead, although he’s still refusing to practice.

Coach Tom Coughlin went the positive route.

“I was pleased,” Coughlin said about Umenyiora attending the practice. “It’s a good thing. I’m hoping that’s the kind of indication that we’re all looking for.”

One source close to Umenyiora told Vacchiano there was more trade interest than expected, and the Giants simply didn’t want to move him. It’s unclear where this standoff goes from here, because Umenyiora doesn’t plan to practice anytime soon.

“He assumes that the next step is for them to fine him or suspend him,” the source said. “Then it becomes a matter for the union and that’s when it could get really ugly.”

Uh, it’s ugly now.
