The New York Giants and free agent defensive tackle Rocky Bernard have agreed on a contract, Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger is reporting.
Bernard spent the first seven years of his NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks, who chose him in the 5th round of the 2002 NFL Draft.
During his time in Seattle, Bernard started 54 games, becoming a full-time starter in 2006. A year earlier, Bernard posted a career-high 8.5 quarterback sacks, earning a three-year contract extension worth $13.5 million dollars.
For his career, Bernard has 29 quarterback sacks.
New York had expressed an interest in him in 2006, but he chose to remain with Seattle. The Giants were his first and only visit, and now that he's signed, he will be part of a defensive tackle rotation with Fred Robbins and Barry Cofield.
