Sammy Knight to Visit NYG

The title pretty much sums it up. Eight-year veteran safety, Sammy Knight has scheduled a visit with the New York Giants in the next few days. After seeing 4 or 5 Jaguars games this past year, I can honestly say the only value Knight would bring to the Giants is veteran advice to the young guys and to be a decent backup. Knight was horrible in coverage all year long. He's still a big hitter and solid against the run, but aren't 90% of the safeties in the NFL? I like my two choices in my wishlist article (McCree and Wilson) much better. I hope he leaves New York without a contract just like he did yesterday in Denver.

UPDATE: Eugene Wilson is scheduled to meet with the Bucs today and the Steelers and Titans after that. Meanwhile, Sammy Knight is in the NY area and will meet with the Giants later tonight. It's looking like Sammy Knight will be the Giants' first free agent signing and Eugene Wilson now seems like a long-shot. Still no talk from any teams about Marlon McCree. Stay tuned for more...
