More Ward

Here’s what Derrick Ward had to say about his decision to re-sign with the Giants for one year, $1.1 million that could go up another million with incentives. Didn’t seem his heart was really in the looking around part of free agency, anyway.
“I had to keep my options open, but my main goal was to stay here with the Giants,” Ward said. “The Giants gave me my start. It feels good to come back to hopefully have a good year this year and be part of the Super Bowl champion Giants. Hopefully, I’ll be able to finish my career here.”
Ward said it was difficult to sit injured during the playoff run, especially after performing well in starting five of the eight games he did play.
“It was hard sitting out,” he said. “It’s been my dream since I was a little kid to play in the Super Bowl. I wasn’t able to play in it, but I felt like I was able to help the team enough to get us there. It was a win-win situation for me.”
Ward said he’s now 100 percent and should be ready to participate in the offseason training program that starts March 31.
Ciao for now.
