Giants sign DB Knight: The New York Giants have reached a tentative agreement with veteran DB Sammy Knight to replace the departed Gibril Wilson. The signing was disclosed by a person with knowledge of the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the contract was not signed. Wilson left the Super Bowl champions for a $39 million contract with the Oakland Raiders. Financial terms were not immediately available, but it was believed that the Knight will get a three-year deal worth between $5-million to $6 million. A 13-year veteran who will turn 33 in September, Knight led the Jacksonville Jaguars with 93 tackles last season. He also had four interceptions and a forced fumble. Knight added 20 tackles in the postseason, including 13 in the wild-card victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Updated 03/03/2008).
