The Giants have re-signed defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, whose contract had expired after the Super Bowl, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. The new deal is for two years, reports Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, meaning Spagnuolo is now signed through 2018.

In the second season of his second stint with New York, Spagnuolo led a defense that ranked second only to Denver in DVOA. The unit, buoyed by additions such as Janoris Jenkins, Olivier Vernon, Damon Harrison, and Eli Apple, ranked 10th in the league in yards allowed and second in points allowed.
Spagnuolo, 57, had a previous run as the Giants’ DC from 2007-08, during which time the club earned a Super Bowl victory. Since that time, Spagnuolo has spent time with the Rams (as head coach), Saints, and Ravens before working his way back to New York.
I love the resigning of Spags. Once he had the proper players he was able to actually to field a proper attacking defense.
Now if only they can fix the offense line.
Great move he’s awesome
This was a no brainier….. Now we need to beef up this pathetic offense…..??? Offensive line is a must…..
