With training camp just a few days away, the Giants picked up some defensive insurance by signing veteran linebacker, and native New Yorker, Keith Bulluck to a one-year deal.
Bulluck suffered a torn ACL late last season and at his age that's a tough injury to come from. However, Giants brass isn't one to just give anyone $2.5 million away so they had to have had made sure Bulluck passed a physical and had a great workout in order to give him such money.
Great linebacker play has always been a staple of the Giants, going back to Sam Huff and up to recent players like Armstead and Barrow. The Giants are also very young at the linebacker position and Bulluck's signing really helps alleaviate the loss of Antonio Pierce when it comes to leadership and knowledge. To sign someone this close to training camp shows the Giants they want their young players to compete for playing time, and it may show that the front was not satisfied with how the defense was constructed.
