The numbers are in for new Giants middle linebacker Keith Bulluck.
Per a league source, the veteran defender received a signing bonus of $150,000. He’ll be paid a base salary of $855,000.
Bulluck also is eligible for a roster bonus of $100,000; it’s unclear when the roster bonus is due to be paid.
Bulluck also is eligible for $1.075 million in incentives. The criteria for unlocking the extra money isn’t known.
If the Giants were to decide during camp that Bulluck simply doesn’t have it, they’d be out $150,000 — assuming that the roster bonus isn’t triggered until the start of the regular season.
Bulluck picked the Giants over the Cardinals. The Titans never made a serious play to keep him after 10 seasons with the team.
He’s screwed if any of the incentives are based on the team’s performance. He should have asked for $20 each time Eli Manning appears lost and has a stupid look on his face…guy would be a billionaire.
I finally created an account after a year of reading. This signing was low-risk, high-reward. If he can be an average linebacker, but an excellent leader for the D, then the signing was worth it.

Wow! Zing! Where did u learn to be so funny?? …….. not
Bullock would have to be in pretty bad shape not to make the team. The Giants LB corps is less than stellar on paper, with Boley being the only legit player, and Sintim having a ton of upside. After those 2 guys, there isn’t much to write home about. If Bullock can play football at all, he’ll make the team.
Why doesnt this guy just retire, does he realize he what running back tandem he faces in week 1? Stewart and Williams are going to put this guy in a home.
Mr. Lagoo – Eli is in the top twenty of richest athletes based on salary AND endorsements deals, has a hot wife, and is a Super Bowl MVP. Please list all YOUR accomplishments that match and/or surpass him. After all, a brilliant guy like you should be able to top a guy that always “appears lost and has a stupid look on his face”. We are all waiting to be impressed by your brilliance. So far, you can’t even match my nine year old on wit and originality, but I suspect you must have a few aces up your sleeve. Please, list away.

LOL–Nice!
As a Skins fan I hate that the Giants got this guy. If he can return from the injury at even half of what he was that’s still better than Antonio Pierce could even dream of. Dam you Giants.
Hey, east96street, did you s-off Eli or something? I mean, you seem pretty offended, but that’s what I expect from an idiot in New York.
I hope the Lions do better than the Giants just to stick it to Bull-sucks for his comments last month
Having watched Keith at every game in Nashville, the Giants got a steal if his knee holds.
Great signing and an even better price! Very reminiscent of the Kawika Mitchell deal in the Super Bowl season.
Boley – Bullock – Sintim looks a ton better than Boley – Wilkinson/Blackburn/Goff – Sintim
Bulluck will be a great tutor for Sintim as well.
Love it!!
