The 31-year-old Webster had 58 tackles, 13 passes defended and four interceptions last season for a defense that was ranked next to last in the league. However, he also saw receivers that he was covering catch at least a half-dozen touchdowns.

Joe Flacco and the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens targeted Webster late in the season in a 33-14 win over New York, with receiver Torrey Smith beating the former LSU star for their first touchdown.

Webster played a major role in the Giants two recent Super Bowl titles, with his interception of a Brett Favre pass in overtime, setting up Lawrence Tynes game-winning field goal in the NFC title game against the Green Bay Packers early in 2008.

Baas was signed as a free agent after the Giants released Shaun O'Hara after the NFL lockout ended before the 2011 season. He has started the past two seasons but also has been limited by nagging injuries in his short tenure.
