The Giants re-signed QB David Carr to a $2 million deal with incentives. Here’s a quote from him:

“Last year was such a positive experience for me I wanted to try to do it again,” said Carr, who got a one-year deal that could reach $2 million with incentives. “Just try and kind of get another one of those years under my belt just learning and continuing to better myself. Honestly, there are spots out there and starting positions, and there could have been some things where it would have just been my Houston situation all over again, and it wasn’t really something I was looking forward to.”

Good move by him and the Giants. Obviously he likes winning/not getting sacked, and the Giants are much better with a veteran, former #1 pick as the backup to…a #1 pick.

The Giants also terminated the contracts of CB Sam Madison, RB Reuben Droughns, and S Sammy Knight. I would have liked to keep Madison and/or Knight for veteran depth, but all 3 of those guys were very injury prone, and the Giants didn’t catch the lightning in a bottle with Knight as they did with the Danny Clark signing, so Knight was expendable. These terminations clear up $4.25 million of cap room, so that’s definitely a positive going into the offseason that’s going to be full of Jacobs, Ward, Boldin, Houshmandzadeh, Burress, etc.

Speaking of the offseason (that’s what’s called a beautiful segway, folks), we are still planning our offseason preview show. It’s going to be a great one if everything works out. We will definitely get ol’ reliable in Ken Palmer (thank you very much for your continued support Ken. Everyone should definitely look into getting a subscription of Giants Insider. I’ve seen it, it’s a great read, and it’s edited by a pure class act in Mr. Palmer). I am also in the process of getting a very, very bigtime guest. More on that if it works out. It’s looking good though, you’re all probably in for a treat.
