The New York Giants continued turning over their roster on Friday evening, announcing the addition of an interior offensive lineman, as well as the release of two others.

Veteran offensive lineman Ted Larsen, 34, was signed, adding much-needed depth at both center and guard.

The 6-foot-3, 323-pound Larsen was originally a sixth-round pick of the New England Patriots in the 2010 NFL draft. He was released as part of final cuts that year and later signed with the Buccaneers.

Larsen spent four seasons in Tampa Bay before signing with the Arizona Cardinals (2014-2015). He has also spent time with the Chicago Bears (2016), Miami Dolphins (2017-2018) and then made second stints with the Bears (2019) and Buccaneers (2020).

Larsen has appeared in 137 regular-season games with 88 starts. He has also appeared in five playoff games with three additional starts, and earned a championship ring with the Bucs last season.

In addition to signing Larsen, the Giants also announced that running back Mike Weber and defensive back Jordyn Peters had been waived.

Weber (hip) was waived with an injury settlement.
