The Giants signed kicker Randy Bullock yesterday, giving them at least a one-week replacement for cover during Josh Brown’s suspension for a domestic violence arrest.

And at least one player is hoping that’s all they need Bullock for.

According to Seth Walder of the New York Daily News, Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul referred to Brown as “our brother” and saw no reason to worry about his future.

“Why should he be cut?” Pierre-Paul replied when asked about the possibility.

When it was mentioned that his ex-wife accused him of more than 20 acts of violence, the veteran defensive end said: “Who knows. You wasn’t there.”

Charges against Brown in Washington were eventually dropped. No charges were ever filed in New Jersey despite two calls to his apartment, including one when his ex-wife allegedly kicked him in the ribs. The league only suspended him one game, instead of their alleged baseline of six, because Brown’s ex-wife wouldn’t cooperate with their investigation.

“I think he’s suspended one game,” Pierre-Paul said. “It doesn’t matter. We’re all family around here. People have their own problems they handle. He’s still our brother and we look past it. We’re going to need him.”

While he said he hadn’t talked to Brown about the allegations, it does indicate the kind of circle-the-wagons mentality within a locker room. One would hope there are a few Giants with a somewhat higher degree of concern, at least among the ones who have moms or wives or daughters.
