On Friday afternoon, the New York Giants officially announced the signing of veteran cornerback James Bradberry and held an introductory conference call — the first free agent addition to meet with the media this year.
Here are five things we learned from Bradberry:
Giants “came out of nowhere”
As we shared on Friday, Bradberry was surprised to end up with the Giants, who were actively engaged in trying to sign Byron Jones.
“Honestly, he reached out to my agent. I really didn’t talk to (Dave) Gettleman. They came out of nowhere and made an offer, I didn’t even expect them to make an offer. He already knew the type of guy I was, and I already knew the type of guy he was. I already knew what type of organization he was trying to build over there in New York. I knew it was nothing but positive,” Bradberry said.
