The New York Giants continued to reshape their secondary, announcing the signings of safety Quintin Demps and cornerback Walter Thurmond on Sunday.

Arian Foster played in just eight games last season and was eventually shelved with a back injury that required surgery.

Mitchell is immediately inserted into a defense in Miami that fits his size and skill set better than the Texans' defense, if for no other reason than Romeo Crennel's scheme is the worst possible fit for Mitchell, who is not morbidly obese enough to play nose tackle in Crennel's version of the 3-4.
