As it turns out, Aaron Curry wasn’t just hanging around Giants practice for no good reason.

Curry just tweeted out the word that he had signed, saying: “EXCITED TO BE A GIANT!!!,” because lower case letters and two exclamation marks wouldn’t have conveyed the appropriate excitement.

The Giants still have a transaction to make, though. As Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News mentioned, the Giants were at the 90-man roster limit, so someone has to go to make room for him.

Teams are going to continue to give Curry chances, partially because he was once the fourth overall pick in the draft. But the Seahawks traded him to the Raiders for a 2012 seventh and a 2013 fifth, and the Raiders just gave him away to get his salary off the books.
