Giants released NT Gabe Watson.
Despite all the injuries in New York, Watson still couldn't lock down a roster spot. He appeared in just seven games for the Cardinals last season, and might be done as an NFL player.

Giants signed NT Gabe Watson, formerly of the Cardinals.
Watson was billed as a first-round talent coming out for the 2007 draft, but he fell out of the top 100 and has done little since. The G-Men will probably just use Watson as a practice body, unless injuries force them to keep him.

The Giants are trying out free agent NT Gabe Watson on Tuesday.
New starting nose tackle Linval Joseph has looked good early in camp, but he's only 22 years old. The Giants could use some depth. Perhaps Watson would be able to salvage his career as a rotational run-stuffer in a 4-3 scheme.

Free agent NT Gabe Watson is willing to play for the veteran's minimum.
Watson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, made this clear when he sent a list of his players willing to play for the league minimum to all 32 teams. Watson, 27, was a fourth-round pick in 2006. The Cardinals have shown no interest in retaining him after he struggled off the bench last year, appearing in just seven games.
