This in order to shore up the defending Super Bowl Champs' battered Defensive line.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants shored up their defensive end position by signing former Philadelphia Eagles first-round pick Jerome McDougle.Jerome is the older brother of Stockar McDougale, an alumni of Deerfield Beach High School in Florida.(The school's mascot is The Bucks) The same school I attended from 1976-1979. I don't know whether Jerome went to DBHS also.A source told ESPN.com's John Clayton that McDougle receives a one-year, $1 million deal.
The Super Bowl champions lost seven-time Pro Bowler Michael Strahan to retirement in June and then had two-time Pro Bowler Osi Umenyiora sidelined with a season-ending knee injury a little more than a week ago in a game against the Jets.
New York moved Mathias Kiwanuka from linebacker back to defensive end days after Umenyiora was hurt.
A first round pick in 2003, McDougle was cut by Philadelphia on Saturday. He played in 33 games in five seasons and had three sacks. He missed all of last season with a triceps injury and was out for all of 2005 after being shot in the abdomen during a robbery during the offseason.
Good luck Jerome and Go Bucks!
