The New York Giants announced that they’ve signed DT Khyri Thornton to a contract on Wednesday.

Thornton, 28, is a former third-round pick of the Packers back in 2014. However, despite his draft status, Thornton lasted just a little over a year in Green Bay before he was waived at the start of the 2015 season.

After a brief stint with the Patriots, the Lions later claimed him off of waivers during the 2015 season and he finished out the year in Detroit before returning on a two-year, $3.3 million contract this past March.

Thornton was suspended for the first six games of the 2017 season for violating the NFL policy and program for substance abuse.
