The NY Giants re-signed defensive tackle Austin Johnson Monday, keeping quality depth along the defensive line and as an insurance policy against a possible Dalvin Tomlinson departure
The NY Giants made their first move during the legal tampering period ahead of NFL free agency, re-signing defensive tackle Austin Johnson, league sources confirm to GMenHQ.
ESPN’s Dan Graziano was first to report Johnson’s signing.
Johnson, 26, a former second-round pick of the Tennessee Titans out of Penn State, signed with the NY Giants as a free agent last spring and proved to be a solid run-stuffer as part of New York’s defensive line rotation.
