Former Titans LB Bulluck is now with the Giants

After spending all of his first 10 NFL seasons with the same team Tennessee Titans, unrestricted free agent Keith Bulluck seriously wants to join a new team, which finally turned out to be the New York Giants. The Giants signed Bulluck to a one-year contract on Friday, ruling out the possibility of Bulluck putting on Minnesota Vikings jersey for his 11th NFL season.

Although suffering a major knee injury in last December, Bulluck managed to pass a Giants physical before a workout with the team Monday. And after taking off his Brett Favre jersey, no swelling was seen on his knee the day after his workout, convincing the Giants that the knee wouldn't pose a problem.

At age 33, Bulluck would be satisfied to earn $2.5 million with incentives in 2010 season. Compared to his former team Titans, who never showed any intension to re-sign Bulluck, the Giants seem to be more generous and have shown enough respects to the veteran. After all, Bulluck had started 130 of the 157 games he appeared during the past 10 seasons and compiled as many as 1,038 tackles, 18 sacks and 19 interceptions. He could just improve the Giants’ defense a lot with his experience.

Steelers veteran CB Townsend hopes to play more football

Having played for the same team Pittsburgh Steelers for 12 years, veteran cornerback Deshea Townsend still believes that he would be able to play for a few more years with the team before he retires as a Steeler. At age 34, he is at least much younger than Brett Favre, who is still likely to put on Vikings jersey as a starting quarterback.

"I did kind of expect to be back, just to add some depth at the position," Townsend told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "They know there's a player out there they don't really have to teach the system, that can come in and play. .. Pittsburgh is home. You always want to be where you started."

As an unrestricted free agent, Townsend is still waiting for a call from the Steelers to ask him back. He continues training and plans to report for the training camp. Does he have a plan B? Surely he has. Townsend used to tell reporters that he wanted to be next Kevin Colbert and work as a scout one day.

Veteran guard Vincent received contract from Bucs

Wearing his favorite Brett Favre jersey to meet the team officials of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, unrestricted free agent offensive guard Keydrick Vincent happily received his fifth contract in his NFL career. According to reports, the Buccaneers have signed the tenth-year veteran to a two-year contact after releasing another unrestricted free agent Sergio Render.

At age 32, Vincent had previously split his first nine NFL seasons with four different teams: the Carolina Panthers, the Arizona Cardinals, the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Being the starting right guard with the Panthers for the last two seasons, Vincent led the team’s ground attack to rank the third in the league. With his help, the Panthers running backs DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Steward were both able to rush for more than 1,000 yards in the same season.

Now in his 10th NFL season, Vincent impressed the Buccaneers with a great resume, which includes starting 79 of 97 played games with four different games. That could be why the Buccaneers valued him more than Render and finally decided to sign him but cut Render.
