The Giants are signing veteran safety Antoine Bethea, according to former teammate Reggie Wayne (on Twitter). The news has been confirmed by Paul Schwartz of the New York Post (Twitter link). 
Bethea, entering his 14th NFL season, will be 35 by the time Giants training camp begins. He profiles as a cheap replacement for Landon Collins, whom New York declined to use its franchise tag on then watched defect to Washington.
Despite his age, Bethea was a full-time Cards starter in 2018. After starting for the 2006 Super Bowl champion Colts as a rookie, the former sixth-round pick has previously played for the Colts, 49ers, and, most recently, the Cardinals. Over the course of his career, he’s made three Pro Bowls, with the most recent one coming in 2014 with SF.
While Bethea is nearing the end of a nice career, he has produced in recent years. In 2017, his first year in Arizona, Bethea intercepted a career-high five passes. Last season, he registered a career-best three sacks. Bethea will trek to the Giants with 24 career interceptions.
The safety market was absolutely flooded this year, leading many to believe that Bethea would have to wait things out before finding a home. That wasn’t the case, as Bethea quickly found a landing spot with the G-Men. This move helps patch up a spot, but the Giants will need more help in their secondary given the current personnel.
Gettleman is a clown. All the giants do now is go after aging players who played for the panthers (gettleman) or the cardinals (bettcher)
Yeah how dare they bring in guys theyre familiar with having studied them extensively to draft or sign them before. Knuckleheads.
Better tell the other teams who also do this that they’re wasting their time doing so. No sense in. Ringing in guys who know your systems already.
I guess Antrel Rolle couldn’t be coaxed out of retirement…
Landon Collins is a fine player, but he’s way overpaid. The g-men didn’t win a damn thing with him on the squad. Not his fault, but he ain’t Lawrence Taylor either. They have better things to do with the cap room.
