Thomas thinks Giants' Coughlin has 'one more in him'

Giants Blog | New York Post — Terrell Thomas is back for at least one more season with the Giants, and he thinks it will be the final season for head coach Tom Coughlin. Speaking on "NFL AM" on NFL Network Tuesday, the cornerback, who was recently re-signed to a one-year deal expressed his coaches desire to win. "I think he has one more in him. We have a great nucleus of guys, and I don't think he wants to give that up. That passion is still burning within him. He lives and breathes football. He has everybody in there all day, every day, in the offseason," Thomas said on the program, according to NJ.com. Coughlin, who has...

Thomas' new deal protects Giants against injury

Giants Blog | New York Post — The return of Terrell Thomas to the Giants hinges on his health and how his right knee responds to the third ACL reconstruction since 2005, his second reconstructive surgery in the past two years. As such, it comes as no surprise that the new one-year contract he signed on Monday is modest and protects the Giants against further injury. Thomas’ base salary for 2013 is $630,000, the veteran minimum for a player with his experience (three previous NFL seasons). He received a signing bonus of $35,000 and also has a workout bonus of $35,000. The real money kicks in if he stays healthy, as there is...

Thomas signs new one-year deal

Giants Blog | ESPN New York — Cornerback Terrell Thomas will be back with the Giants after signing a new one-year deal according to sources. Thomas is attempting his third comeback from a right ACL knee injury. The cornerback had a $6 million option in his contract in March and the Giants were going to avoid that option after Thomas re-injured his ACL during training camp last year. So this move should alleviate more cap space for the Giants, who released Michael Boley, Ahmad Bradshaw and Chris Canty last week in cap-clearing moves.

Giants give CB Thomas another chance with one-year deal

Giants Blog | New York Post — Terrell Thomas is coming off a third knee reconstruction to his right ACL and is considered a long shot to make it back to play for the Giants. He took a financial step in the right direction, as Monday he agreed to a one-year contract that will at least give him a chance to prove himself on the practice field without being a salary cap burden. Thomas was due a $6 million option bonus payable in March and, coming off the injury, was not going to see any of that money. He was also due a 2013 base salary of $750,000. He is considered to be an extreme medical risk, as he’s actually torn his right...
