Just when you thought today's unexpected flurry of activity would end for the Giants, the organization added a nightcap.

The Giants have signed former New England Patriots cornerback Antwaun Molden, who confirmed the move on his Twitter account tonight.

"Thank You all! I greatly appreciate it. Glad to be a Giant #NYGiants," the four-year veteran tweeted.

A third-round draft pick out of Eastern Kentucky in 2008, Molden spent his first three seasons with the Houston Texans before joining the Patriots. In his lone season in Foxboro, Molden played in all 19 regular season and playoff games, including Super Bowl XLVI against his new club. He started two regular season games and recorded 22 tackles and his first two career interceptions.

Molden gives the Giants some depth at cornerback where they lost Aaron Ross in free agency to the Jacksonville Jaguars and will lean on Terrell Thomas to successfully return from ACL surgery.
