Thursday’s Giants News: Jints add Danny Clark
Finally, the Giants are making a little splash in Free Agency. It seemed like Sammy Knight was going to be the only free agent that the G-MEN would add, but now Big Blue signed David Carr and Danny Clark this week. Carr is a former #1 pick who is going to fight for the backup QB role against Jared Lorenzen and Anthony Wright. Carr only costed the Giants $1 million. Danny Clark is going to compete for the outside linebacker position. The rumors are that Clark got a 2-year deal worth $4 million. So we have 3 starting linebackers, but the Giants will have to add some depth. That’s what the Draft is for…
Giants add veteran LB Clark - Michael Eisen reported that the Giants signed Danny Clark and provided a Bio on him. Eisen also got Tom Coughlin’s and Jerry Reese’s thoughts about Clark.
“Danny Clark is a player I drafted a few years ago in Jacksonville,” Coughlin said. “We’re bringing him in as an outside linebacker. He is a very physical, very versatile player. Over the years, he has been a very good special teams player. Clark is a veteran guy with an outstanding work ethic. He will fit in well with our players in the locker room. He will have an opportunity to compete for a position.”
“He is a veteran linebacker who can play all three spots,” general manager Jerry Reese said. “He has been an outstanding special teams player. He is going to create competition in both areas, special teams and at linebacker. He fits the New York Giant mold.”

Giants’ Strahan still up in air about retirement - Bob Glauber captured Michael Strahan’s thoughts on retirement:
I can’t say I don’t love to play and don’t love to see the guys, but when I see guys like Favre and Sapp and [Chiefs guard] Will Shields, all these guys who are players from my era, say, ‘Enough’s enough’ … Sometimes, you wake up and your body is hurting and you’re thinking, ‘Man, maybe enough is enough.’ You think about it.
