Rocky Comes to NY

Update 12pm ET  - Ralph Vacchiano of the Daily News reports The Giants are also set to meet with DE Antonio Smith who played in the Superbowl with the Arizona Cardinals. Smith is expected to meet with the Eagles, Texans and again with the Cardinals.

With the attention Smith is receiving it is unlikely the Giants, with a wealth of  defensive ends, match other teams offers. Then again as Ernie Accorsi said “you can never have enough pass rushers.”

Original Post:

 Tom Rock of Newsday is reporting that along with LB Michael Boley, DT Rocky Bernard will also be visiting the Giants. The Giants met with Bernard three years ago before he re-signed with the Seattle Seahawks. Bernard is 29 years old, he is 6-3 308 pounds.

With Barry Cofield and Fred Robbins recuperating from off-season knee surgery’s depth is a need at defensive tackle. Interestingly both Boley and Bernard (sounds like a bad  law firm) have had fairly recent run ins with the law, something worth noting after the year Plaxico had.
