After going through a minicamp tryout with the New York Giants last week, Skinner was signed to a two-year contract Thursday and will compete for the No. 3 job behind Eli Manning and backup Jim Sorgi. "All I ever really wanted was a chance to get a foot in the door," said Skinner. "It's a long shot [to go to training camp] when you just get a tryout, but everything turned out well." Skinner finished as Wake Forest's career passing leader, leading the Deamon Deacons to the 2006 ACC Championship (its first since 1970) and was named conference Rookie of the Year. Randolph, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Holy Cross, was cut. Source: Jacksonville.com
