New York Giants news, 10/23 – Giants sign free agent defender, Sterling Shepard returning, more

With the NFL trade deadline right around the corner, the league is in full swing with several big-name players making moves this week. October 29 marks the last day for teams to deal players, so we can expect to see a ton of movement, and the New York Giants could be one of them.

However, Big Blue picked up a free agent on Tuesday in linebacker Deone Bucannon, formerly of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bucannon has previously played for defensive coordinator James Bettcher in the past, making his signing a valuable one. It won’t take long for him to slot into the defense considering his knowledge of the 3-4 scheme and connection with Bettcher.
