Giants’ Josh Brown has support of teammates

We’re gonna need him. “Every player, we’re going to need them”. Pierre-Paul said when asked Monday about the possibility of the Giants releasing Brown.

“No”, he said. “Why should we cut him?” “Every guy needs a chance”.

“Who knows, you weren’t there”, Pierre-Paul added when asked about the accusations against Brown.

Brown was suspended for the first regular-season game by the NFL on Wednesday for a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy.

Brown was arrested and charged with fourth-degree assault/DV in May 2015 when he allegedly grabbed the wrist of his then-wife, Molly, during an argument in their home in the state of Washington. The charge was dismissed five days later. On Thursday, the Daily News first reported that the kicker’s ex-wife, Molly Brown, accused him of being physically violent toward her more than 20 times.

Brown was arrested previous year and charged with assault in the fourth degree/DV, according to the police report. The Giants signed the 37-year-old to a two-year, $4 million extension this past offseason. But they have refused to explain why they are comfortable with keeping Brown on their roster. Giants general manager Jerry Reese and co-owner John Mara declined to speak with reporters over the weekend in Buffalo.

As for the locker room reaction to Brown’s suspension, Pierre-Paul indicated it wasn’t an issue.

“Bullock has four accrued seasons in the National Football League (he has played three and was on injured reserve as a rookie in 2012), so if he is on the Giants”™ opening day roster, he can elect to have his base salary for 2016 guaranteed.

“I don’t like people knowing about my business, and my situation, so I try to keep out of people’s situations unless they come to me and ask for help”.
