Giants Sign Fullback, 2 Offensive Linemen

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP)The New York Giants have finally turned their attention to their offensive by signing fullback Will Johnson and offensive linemen Ryan Seymour and Dillon Farrell.

The Giants, who made headlines early in free agency by signing defensive end Olivier Vernon, cornerback Janoris Jenkins, defensive tackle Damon "Snacks" Richardson and linebacker Keenan Robinson, announced the moves on Tuesday.

Johnson, 26, spent the past four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, playing H-back, tight end and excelling on special teams. He only has eight carries and one rushing touchdown in four seasons, but 31 receptions for 235 yards and two scores.

Seymour, 26, didn't play in a game last season. He last played in 2014, appearing in 11 games for the Browns, starting the last three at center.

Farrell, 25, played in eight games as a reserve offensive lineman with the 49ers in 2014. He was waived on Sept. 15 and signed eight days later to the Tennessee Titans' practice squad, where he spent the remainder of the season.
