What type of role will DT Barry Cofield have with Big Blue?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J – Last month, the Giants brought back a member of their Super Bowl XLVI championship team when they signed wide receiver Hakeem Nicks.

This week, they reached deeper into their past when they signed defensive tackle Barry Cofield, who played on the Giants team that won Super Bowl XLII. Like Nicks, Cofield did not play a down in the 2015 season before joining his old team and is eager to line up and help out. The Giants host the undefeated Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

“It feels great (to be back),” Cofield said today, after his first practice.
