GIANTS CLOSING IN ON BERNARD?

The Giants have already wrapped up one of the most underrated players in free agency: LB Michael Boley.  Now they are closing in on another - DT Rocky Bernard. 

Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger reports that Bernard has spent all day at Giants Stadium after having dinner with the team last night.  He quotes a source that talks are reportedly "heating up."

Bernard may not be an every-down player, but he's the rare defensive tackle who can pressure the quarterback.  He would look good in a rotation with two other underrated tackles: Fred Robbins and Barry Cofield. It's unclear if a potential deal with Bernard would effect their pursuit of DE Chris Canty.
