The New York Giants signed six-year veteran defensive back Josh Gordy, who played the last three seasons for the Indianapolis Colts.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Gordy has played in 59 regular-season games with 11 starts (eight at cornerback, one at free safety and two as an extra defensive back) and played in six postseason games. His career totals include 103 tackles, five interceptions, 12 passes defensed and one sack in the regular season and eight tackles and a pass defensed in the playoffs.

Gordy entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2010. He was waived at the end of training camp and signed two weeks later to the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad. Gordy was promoted to the active roster and played in two late-season games.

Gordy was released by the Packers on Sept. 3, 2011, and joined the St. Louis Rams’ practice squad three days later. He was elevated to the roster on Sept. 21 and played in 14 games with career-high totals of nine starts, 53 tackles, three interceptions and five passes defensed.

Gordy was traded by the Rams to the Colts on Aug. 21, 2012, for a draft choice. In three seasons with Indianapolis, he played in 15, 12 and 16 regular-season games.

The Giants also signed linebacker Ryan Jones of Montana Tech. Jones was originally signed as a free agent by the Baltimore Ravens on May 13, 2013.
