Loading ...With zero hour nearly upon them, the New York Giants were up against a wall when it came to re-signing Terrell Thomas. And mere hours before NFL Free Agency was set to officially begin, Big Blue put the finishing touches on a deal to keep T2 in the Big Apple.
"It's a GREAT day to be a NEW YORK GIANT!" Thomas tweeted shortly after the news broke.
Poised to "break out" and become a Pro Bowl corner, Thomas missed the entire 2011-2012 season after tearing his ACL in the preseason. He stayed positive and aggressively rehabbed, and recently began jogging. He's tweeted on several occasions that he's ahead of schedule and should be ready for the start of the 2012-2013 season.
“I pretty much can do everything,” Thomas told the Daily News last week. “I started cutting last week in the backpedal. I’m cutting laterally. I’m running forward, not a full sprint but a nice speed jog. I can jump, I can squat, I can lunge. I can do everything pretty much. It’s just all doing it the right way. It’s about getting the muscle memory to remember how to do it so it becomes natural again."
Details of his new contract have not yet been made available.
Thomas' return all but ensures Aaron Ross that his days as a member of the New York Giants are over. He will officially become an unrestricted free agent on Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 PM EST.
UPDATE: Thomas' contract is four-years, $28 million with $11 million guaranteed and an option year.
David Baas restructures contract.
Center David Baas has restructured his contract, dropping his 2012 salary from $3M to $900K. Like Eli Manning, the remaining $2.1M will likely be converted to a bonus.

GREAT news!
Sweet! Now the Giants can focus on other places in the draft. OL, LB, RB instantly become higher priorities in my eyes.
Awesome, hopefully Tryon or Witherspoon are next and our CB depth is looking great heading into next season
Ross will become unrestricted, not undrafted. But, good news and great job staying on top of it Dan.
