EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (June 8, 2006) -- The New York Giants signed former New Orleans Saints tight end Boo Williams and waived tight end Matt Kranchick.

Kranchick was signed by the Giants in December from the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad. He appeared in two games, making two tackles on special teams.
The Giants also released safety Jamaal Brimmer, who had been signed in January.
