The Giants have signed S Sammy Knight to a 3 year, $5 million contract. Not bad considering his stats from last season were slightly better than Gibril Wilson's. However, Sammy is a much bigger liability in coverage.
If I had to guess, Knight will be one of the starting safeties with James Butler, Michael Johnson and a rookie battling for the remaining safety spot. Unless the rookie is a first round pick like Reggie Smith or Kenny Phillips (I don't like Phillips for the record), I can see Michael Johnson winning the job. He is by far the most athletic safety on the team right now.
But nothing would surprise me. Reese could sign another free agent safety, like Eugene Wilson, to start at the other spot. He could also decide to move Aaron Ross or Corey Webster to safety. I don't like the idea of moving one of our CBs to the safety position but there have been rumors that it will happen, so there it is.
Other News: The Giants remain interesting in Trent Green as a backup QB, but have not scheduled a meeting yet. The Giants also remain interested in LB Clark Haggans and LB Victor Hobson. Both of these guys would most likely play the SAM position which leads me to believe Reese does not want to keep Kiwanuka there. I'm hoping to see him back at DE myself.
