Giants GM Jerry Reese confirms the team hasn't ruled out the possibility of re-signing S Deon Grant. Grant was featured in the Giants' nickel defense last season, and recently said he expects to sign sometime during training camp. If signed, he would be strictly used as an insurance policy.

Free agent S Deon Grant believes the Giants will re-sign him during training camp. A key cog in New York's oft-used three-safety looks a year ago, Grant isn't ready to retire after 12 seasons and it sounds like he's willing to play for close to the veteran's minimum. Grant played a whopping 79.9 percent of the Giants' defensive snaps in 2011, primarily because they didn't have a nickel corner.
