Posted in George Wrighster is the newest member of the New York Giants, after signing a contract after the rookie mini-camp. The six year veteran tight end was nice enough to answer a few questions for GiantsGab! 1. Why did you decide to tryout with the Giants? I had visits with other teams, but just like the Giants, they [...]

Tags: How Big Are Hakeem Nicks Hands?
I’m fascinated by everything Hakeem Nicks. Sorry to you all if you’re not. We’ve all seen the story of how Hakeem Nicks wears 4XL gloves, but I wanted to put into perspective how big his hands are (which is a big reason for all catching ability, I imagine). I’ve seen that Hakeem Nicks’ hands [...]
Comments OffRoster at 89:
From Vinni DiTrani: The six post-rookie minicamp signings upped the Giants roster total to 89, the maximum they can have at this time. The roster limit is 80, but since none of the nine draft picks have signed, they do not count against the number. A player will have to be cut, however, as each [...]
Comments OffEvans Has Giant Shot At Defensive Line:
From Ralph Vacchiano: Maurice Evans (48) is seeking redemption and is trying to latch on with the Giants. Maurice Evans swears he doesn’t think much about what could have been in his life, but it had to be on his mind at least a little on draft day when the Buffalo Bills made Aaron Maybin [...]
The Beast Interviews Domenik Hixon
One of the websites that I usually take a look at during some point of the day is on espn.com (one of the few espn things I actually enjoy) and that site is the NFC East blogger Matt Mosley. His blog is usually pretty good and full of anything NFC East related. Today he [...]
Toomer to Chicago?:
From Ralph Vacchiano: Is Amani Toomer close to finding a new home in Chicago? Maybe. Maybe not. There was a report on the NFL Network yesterday that said the Chicago Bears had placed a call to Toomer’s representatives and could be interested in signing the former Giants receiver. But not so fast, says the Chicago [...]

Final Mini-Camp Report; Barden Injures Leg
Here is Mike Garafolo’s practice report from the final mini-camp practice, along with news on Ramses Barden’s injury: First things first in your afternoon practice report: WR Ramses Barden left with a leg injury. It appeared to be a hamstring issue but nothing major as he had his leg wrapped and then stood and watched practice alongside [...]
More Morning Practice Notes
Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News has his practice report up: Nicks actually looked pretty good again today, despite the drop. One thing I’ve noticed is that he’s really abused cornerback Stoney Woodson (seventh round) this camp. Every time Nicks runs deep on Woodson, the receiver seems to beat him by about five yards. • [...]
Coughlin Speaks
Tom Coughlin spoke to reporters after the third practice of mini-camp (from giants.com) Q: Of the three practices you have had, anybody standing out, anybody surprise you? A: I don’t know about surprises. I think we knew – I think someone asked me about Mo Evans yesterday. He has done pretty well. He had [...]
