When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers released Deone Bucannon two weeks ago, it seemed obvious that the New York Giants would — and should — have interest. Bucannon had the best three years of his NFL career playing the ‘Moneybacker’ position for James Bettcher with the Arizona Cardinals.
Bettcher, of course, now has that job with the Giants. And linebacker has been a trouble spot for two seasons on a defense that has been struggling. The Giants reportedly had interest in Bucannon before he signed with Tampa Bay in the offseason.
