Peyton Hillis' contract with the Giants only contains $100,000 in guaranteed money.

Giants re-signed RB Peyton Hillis to a two-year, $1.8 million contract. Hillis, 28, signed off the street last year and rushed for 247 yards with two TDs on 73 carries (3.4 YPC), appearing in seven games and starting one. He should be viewed internally by the Giants as no more than an insurance policy. Hillis is a plus pass blocker, but offers no big-play ability as a runner, is in decline, and has a history of fumbling problems. He's an uninspiring re-signing.

The NY Daily News is "hearing" the Giants will re-sign free agent Peyton Hillis "probably today."

A soon-to-be 28-year-old plodder with no playmaking ability, Hillis is going to have a hard time finding work in the offseason.

Peyton Hillis has passed his concussion test. Hillis missed Week 16 due to his concussion, but has been cleared to resume practicing. He'll likely serve as the No. 2 running back behind Andre Brown if active for Sunday's game against Washington.

Giants declared RB Peyton Hillis, WR Victor Cruz, OL David Diehl, DE Jason Pierre-Paul, S/LB Cooper Taylor, LB Allen Bradford, and QB Ryan Nassib inactive for Week 16 against the Lions.
