Giants Consider Signing Jessie Armstead, But Won’t Comment on the Harry Carson and Sam Huff Speculation

Last week the New York Giants worked out aging linebacker Jessie Armstead who hasn’t played since 2003, when he was with the Redskins. Armstead went to the Pro Bowl 5 times in his 11-year career with both New York and Washington, but that was back in the previous century. The Giants are missing starting linebackers Carlos Emmons and Antonio Pierce and, on Saturday against Washington, also lost Pierce’s replacement, a rookie whose name ESPN insists is Chase Blackburn, though I think that’s the name of a private equity firm in Manhattan.

Anyway, Giants coach Tom Coughlin preferred not to comment on whether or not he and GM Ernie Accorsi were considering signing Armstead, saying only, “I’m not going to elaborate what we thought about who, what and where.”

Off the record, though, Coughlin did admit that he had it narrowed down to either the library or the billiard room and the lead pipe or the revolver.
