The New York Giants Monday announced the long-awaited signing of three-year USFL veteran punter Sean Landeta.
The Giants had been expected to sign Landeta since training camp opened but had to wait until he was officially free from his USFL contract. Landeta averaged 41.8 yards per punt this season with the USFL champion Baltimore Stars. His three-year average with the Stars was 41.5.
Landeta, who reportedly signed for $500,000 over three years, will battle incumbent Dave Jennings and free agent Joe Prokop for the Giants' punting job. Jennings has held the job for 11 years.
