Giants Sign Seven Free Agents:  The Giants announced on Monday that they have signed the following seven free agents:

• DT Brian Soi, Utah (spent time with the Dolphins in 2007)
• DT Nate Robinson, Akron (rookie free agent)
• DE Alex Morrow, USC (rookie free agent)
• S Miguel Scott, North Carolina State (rookie free agent)
• S Terrance Stringer, Tuskegee (rookie free agent)
• OG Jacob Hobbs, Albany (spent time with the Eagles in 2007)
• LS Nick Leeson, Virginia Tech (spent time with the Ravens in 2007)

All seven of these players participated in the Giants’ recently completed mini-camp on a tryout basis.  Not counting the seven unsigned rookie draft picks, the Giants’ roster now stands at 80 players.  Once those players are signed, the Giants will have to cut seven more players.

Because of all of these roster moves, we have updated the Roster, Depth Chart, and Transactions sections of the website.  Scouting reports on these seven players are available the 2008 NFL Draft Review and Rookie Free Agent Signings and the Free Agent Signings sections of the website.

Giants Cut Three Players:  The Giants announced on Monday that they have waived the following three players:

• LB Rory Johnson
• DT Joshua Muse
• P/PK Owen Tolson

The Giants also officially announced that they have terminated the contracts of OG Carnell Stewart and TE Eric Butler, but we reported those moves on Saturday.

Because of all of these roster moves, we have updated the Roster, Depth Chart, and Transactions sections of the website.
