New York Giants Breaking News

June 24, 2009

The Giants continued to make their roster adjustments today by signing rookie WR Ramses Barden and rookie QB Rhett Bomar. Conditions of their contracts were not disclosed. The G-men are expecting a lot from their rookie pickups at WR. Ramses Barden is an intriguing prospect at 6'6" and should battle for a starting position during training camp. By the way, look at Barden's hands in the story photo above, are those hands or 2 frying pans? I'm excited for this kid this year.

The signing of Rhett Bomar could mean the end of days for QB Andre Woodson in New York, as was talked about in my last article New York Giants: Methodical Addition and Subtraction. The other QB fighting for a backup role is David Carr. Seeing how the Giants will most likely go with experience at the backup position, it seems Carr is safe for now.

The Giants released veteran TE George Wrightster and OL Mike Fladell in other moves made on Wednesday. It is clearly starting to get down to the nitty gritty and the team is beginning to take shape before our eyes. The TE group is deep so this doesn't come as a surprise to me at all.

One more bit of news from the Giants camp. New LB Michael Boley had hip surgery and is expected to miss 8-10 weeks while recovering. This news came out of nowhere and has to be bad news for the team, as they were expecting him to take over the starting OLB duties.

There is nothing saying he won't be ready for the start of the season, but this certainly isn't a good way to start your first year with a new team. I'm sure the Giants nation wishes Boley a speedy recovery, as do I.

Look for future interviews with Giants players during training camp and the regular season. And more articles on everything New York Giants.
