FOXBORO, Mass. -- The New England Patriots Monday signed unrestricted free agent safety Myron Guyton.
Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Guyton will be reunited with New England head coach Bill Parcells, who led the Giants to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991.
Guyton was an eighth round draft choice in 1989 and played five years for New York. He started every game in 1993 and had 77 tackles.
The Patriots plucked Guyton's teammate, free agent offensive lineman Bob Kratch, from the Giants last week. Parcells is reportedly also interested in running back Lewis Tillman and cornerback Mark Collins, who are both unrestricted free agents.
The Patriots are one of the few teams in the National Football League with plenty of room under the salary cap, giving Parcells the opportunity to tap into the free agent market.
