    The New York Giants lost a key player when tight end Kevin Boss signed with the Oakland Raiders on Friday.

    Boss reached an agreement on a four-year, $16 million deal, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The Raiders, who were looking for a tight end after losing Zach Miller to the Seahawks, announced the deal without revealing its terms.

    Boss' asking price was clearly too high for the Giants, who have been trying to re-sign him and wide receiver Steve Smith.

    "It's disappointing," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "We were very much involved. But the decision is the decision. We wish him well."

    Boss, who worked out for the Raiders Wednesday, was fifth in receptions last season with 35 catches for 531 yards and five touchdowns. The 6-foot-6 player was one of Eli Manning's most trusted targets and had caught a total of 16 touchdowns the past three seasons.
