5 players you forgot played for the New York Giants
As two-time NFL MVP Kurt Warner attempted to revive his career following an injury-riddled finish to his time with the St. Louis Rams, he signed a one-year/$3 million deal with the New York Giants.
Ultimately, the Giants were never going to be a long-term landing spot for Warner. He signed with the team in June of 2004, a few months after the Giants acquired No. 1 overall pick Eli Manning from the San Diego Chargers. Eventually, Warner was going to give way to Manning.
Warner would start nine games for the Giants, posting a 5-4 record with six touchdowns to four interceptions. His brief time as the starting quarterback for the Giants wasn't a complete failure, but it was hardly the greatest show on turf.
The reason that Warner's brief time with the Giants is so memorable - besides him being the last Giants quarterback before Manning, the best in team history - is that it was sandwiched in between two incredible tenures. Above, we mentioned his six seasons in St. Louis, and after one year with the Giants, Warner was able to revive his career with the Arizona Cardinals. His time with the Cardinals peaked in 2008, when he guided the team to an appearance in Super Bowl XLIII. Before the game, there were quite a few pieces done on how he managed to return to elite form after a pretty underwhelming season in New York.
