Roman Phifer back in the NFL

Veteran linebacker Roman Phifer has been signed by the NY Giants. This move surprised me. I though the 37-year old Phifer was all done with football. If he was to come back - I thought he would have come back to the Patriots early this season when Ted Johnson retired and Tedy Bruschi was out with his recovery from his stroke. I guess the Patriots felt they had enough depth without Phifer (and now linebackers are the team's defensive strength - so I guess they were right).

Phifer is a smart player who always kept mimself in shape. I wish him the best on the Giants.
