Guess they felt like the O-line depth could use a veteran boost. Piller, 31, is an eight-year vet, all with the Titans. He signed with the Lions on Mar. 26 and was waived on May 2. He missed all but three games in 2006 with an ankle injury and all of 2004 with a torn left biceps tendon.
This doesn't necessarily mean that David Diehl is permanently moved to left tackle... But adding an exclusively interior lineman doesn't help Guy Whimper's prospects to be the starter.
The Giants also cut DT Sir Henry Anderson and CB R.J. Cobbs.
A person who knows a thing or two about the front-office operations told me today that there any talk about former Giant DT Kendrick Clancy, who was cut by the Cardinals earlier this week. Clancy had a terrific year in 2005 with the Giants, then cut out for Arizona, where he had an injury-plagued '06.
And Clancy just signed with the Saints... So the Giants' interest is moot now. Carry on.
Oh, and Craig: If Newsday were looking to replace me, I'd like to think I'd still show for a meeting with the bosses. I still work here, as Jim Finn still works for the Giants. Apples and oranges though. Newsday's not paying me $720,000 to block for Blauber (our version of Tiki) and I don't have nearly as many concussions as Finn has.
And the Blauber-Tiki comparison isn't based on talent... More to do with the guy who talks too much.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this new OG cut by training camp...just adding to the competition. Your right, this doesn't add to Guy Whimper's prospects...
How is our RB situation? Arthur; who do you expect to be our 3rd down back so to speak?
KC -
I agree....this is a ho hum move.......we are stooping pretty low if we are signing guys cut by the Lions......
