Terrell Thomas Back with New York Giants on a New Deal, and More NFC East News

Terrell Thomas' NFL career is cat-like. The veteran cornerback's right ACL has now undergone three separate surgical procedures, and yet Thomas is in the process of making yet another comeback with the New York Giants. 

On Monday, Thomas signed a new, one-year contract with the Giants, according to Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger.

The expectations are low considering the 28-year-old's history, but the good news is that Thomas is willing to do whatever it takes to make things work, and that includes making a switch to safety. 

"At this point, I don't care if they move me to kicker," Thomas said, per Vrentas. "I just want to play football."

Vrentas points out that Carolina's Thomas Davis played in 15 games last season after suffering three ACL tears in a three-year span, so there is a precedent here. And Thomas apparently hasn't had swelling in a month and a half, so he's on the right track.
