Jessie Armstead Retires a Giant

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Five-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jessie Armstead signed a one-day contract Wednesday so he could retire as a New York Giant.

"I am thankful the organization gave me the opportunity," Armstead said. "My blood, I always had New York Giants in it."

To make room for Armstead on the roster, the Giants placed starting fullback Jim Finn on season-ending injured reserve. Finn had shoulder surgery Monday.

Taken in the eighth round of the 1993 draft, Armstead played nine seasons for the Giants, helping them reach the Super Bowl in 2000.

Rest of story here.
