New York Giants Re-Sign WR Domenik Hixon

New York Giants Re-Sign WR Domenik Hixon: The Giants officially announced yesterday that they have signed WR Domenik Hixon. Hixon was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent on March 13. Terms of the deal are not yet known.

“I Just got done officially signing back with the Superbowl Champs!!!,” Hixon Tweeted after signed. “Thank you to the best Fans in the world and the Giants for giving me an opportunity to play the game I love!”

In a press release from the Giants, Hixon said, “(The Giants) gave me an opportunity when I got released from Denver (in 2007). And then these past two years with knee injuries they stuck with me. They could have cut me and let me be on my way and be done with me. But they didn’t do that. They treated me the same and I really appreciate that. I know a lot of times in the NFL loyalty isn’t that big. But in this situation I really felt like I wanted to be here. They helped me out time and time again. I wanted to stay here and repay that.”

Hixon says he is recovering well from his second ACL injury. “I was trying to get (team physician) Dr. (Russell) Warren to cut me loose for spring ball and do OTA’s and he definitely sees me doing that,” Hixon said. “I’m chomping at the bit.”

“I personally feel like I’m further along (than he was at the same stage after his first surgery) with the strength and the coordination, different things like that that,” said Hixon. “Is it because I know what’s coming and I’m prepared for it? But I feel real good. And that’s what’s kind of scary about it. It wasn’t a point this time where I had a ton of pain or a ton of swelling. We’re just fine-tuning things now. My goal when I get back is to be at full speed and show the training staff and everybody else I’m physically ready to play and ready for it for years to come. I don’t want to limit myself in what I can do, especially because of injury.  It’s part of the game and I’ll work twice as hard not to get injured.”

“I’m 27 years old,” said Hixon. “This isn’t a one-and-done type deal. I plan to play four or five more years, longer than that if I’m able. This is just a little interruption.”
