Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo): The #Giants are signing veteran QB Jake Haener, source says. Haener, who had worked out for the team late last month, lands in East Rutherford after a few workouts with other teams.
Haener fills the roster spot vacated by cornerback Sam Webb's retirement, and Garafolo notes the Giants will now carry four quarterbacks on the roster.
The former Saints and 49ers reserve worked out for New York late last month before circling back.
New York's willingness to keep four arms speaks to both injury insurance and the value of extra reps in a building that wants Dart to absorb as much as possible without shouldering a live-game load prematurely. Haener's experience in multiple systems makes him a low-risk addition to the practice script.
