New York has found Will Allen's replacement.

The New York Giants have agreed to a four-year deal with former Miami Dolphins cornerback Sam Madison, giving them the veteran cornerback they badly need.

The Giants would not confirm the deal, but Madison's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said they had agreed to terms with the 31-year-old Madison, cut last week by Miami.

The above is from an AP report, which goes on to say that the contract wil promises Madison a $2 million signing bonus plus base salaries of $900,000 in the first year of the contract, $1.2 million in the second year, $1.5 million in the third year and $1.8 million in the final year, as well as a $250,000 bonus for any season in which the CB picks off at least four passes.

Good signing for the Giants, who needed to fill this hole at CB.

This is not just a good signing, a TERRIFIC signing. This is one of our major needs. Madison is a guy who can actually catch the ball...unlike one Will Allen.
