The New York Giants signed a familiar face Thursday, as they inked veteran tackle Barry Cofield to provide depth along their defensive line.
The team announced the move, per Michael Eisen, on the heels of releasing safety Brandon Meriweather to create a roster spot for Cofield.
The 31-year-old Cofield played for the Giants from 2006-2010, winning Super Bowl XLII with the G-Men, before a four-year stint with the Washington Redskins from 2011-2014.
Big Blue selected Cofield in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL draft, and in five seasons with the franchise, he missed just one game.
