The New York Giants replaced former Super Bowl champion punter Steve Weatherford with Brad Wing at the end of training camp last year. Having liked what they saw in his first year with the team, the Giants moved Monday to sign Wing to a long-term contract.
The team announced that the deal runs through 2019. A source with knowledge of the deal said it includes $6.45 million in new money and $3.725 million in guarantees -- a nice deal for a punter who made $510,000 last year and was scheduled to make $600,000 this coming season.
