Spagnuolo emphasizing tackling

The Giants added a little depth to their thin safety corps by signing veteran Rahim Moore on Thursday. Moore, 26, was one of four free agents the Giants signed, just four days after their season ended with a 38-13 wild-card playoff game loss in Green Bay. They also added linebacker Curtis Grant, running back Daryl Virgies and guard Martin Wallace. The Giants had actually looked at Moore a couple of times in the past year, including last March when they briefly discussed signing him as a free agent.

The Giants signed 10 players to reserve/future contracts on Tuesday and added two more on Wednesday, ensuring all 12 will stay with the team at least until the offseason program begins in April. Among the most notable names were cornerback Donte Deayon and receiver Darius Powe, who spent the entire season on the practice squad after impressive training camps as undrafted free agents last summer, and cornerback Michael Hunter, who played two games for the Giants during the regular season.

The Giants could have somewhere near $40 million in salary cap space to play with this offseason if the cap rises all the way to $168 million, as some in the NFL project. They might even end up with more, depending on what contracts they restructure and which players they decide to cut. And while that may not be enough to turn them into big spenders in free agency the way they were a year ago, it certainly is enough for them to re-sign some of their own unrestricted free agents.
