Giants long snapper DeOssie lands new deal


The New York Giants re-signed long-snapper Zak DeOssie on Wednesday.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed by the team. DeOssie was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March.

DeOssie, a fourth-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft as a linebacker, played in 149 straight regular-season games until a wrist injury that later required surgery sidelined him in December.

Only quarterback Eli Manning was been with the organization longer than DeOssie. They are the last two remaining members of the franchise’s two most recent Super Bowl championship teams.

The 31-year-old DeOssie was named to the Pro Bowl in 2008 and 2010 and has served as the Giants’ special teams captain for the past five years. He has 71 career regular-season tackles and seven during the postseason.

Among the remaining pending free agents on the Giants’ roster are cornerback Prince Amukamara and defensive ends Robert Ayers and Jason Pierre-Paul.
