Giants Sign a Knight
Three days after losing Gibril Wilson to the Oakland Raiders, the Giants found a veteran replacement at safety in Sammy Knight.
Knight is becoming the on-call replacement when a team needs a safety. He's with his fourth team in five years, but the big thing about his Giants deal is that he gets some long-term security. The 32-year-old safety agreed to a three-year, $5.15 million contract that includes $1.25 million to sign.
This is a great signing for the Gmen. Knight was just as effective as Wilson last year with virtually the same stats in every category. He may be aging, but at that price tag for 3 years who can complain. Wilson is getting paid $4 million more per year just to put into perspective how good of a signing this was. Same stats and save $4 mill who can complain? Keep up the good work Reese.
