Last year, the Giants decided to back up the first overall pick in the 2004 draft with the first overall pick from the 2002 draft. And both sides have decided to give it another go. According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, the Giants have re-signed quarterback David Carr. Carr, selected with the No. 1 overall choice by the Texans nearly seven years ago, will continue to be the No. 2 guy behind Eli Manning, the No. 1 pick two years later. Per Vacchiano, Carr signed a one-year, $1 million contract. In three appearances last season, Carr completed nine of 12 passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns, which equated to a passer rating of 144.1. Vacchiano also reports that the Giants have cut cornerback Sam Madison, running back Reuben Droughns, and safety Sammy Knight. These three moves create more than $4.25 million in 2009 cap space.
