Chris Snee has inked a six-year contract extension with the New York Giants.

Securing Snee's future was one of the Super Bowl champions' main priorities during the off-season as the right guard is an integral part of their offensive line, having started 59 of 64 games in his four seasons with the franchise.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"I am just happy to have it done before the season and really just have peace of mind and not worry about it and go out and play," said the 26-year-old, who was drafted by the Giants in the second round in 2004 out of Boston College.

"I had faith that it would be done."

Meanwhile, running back Earnest Graham has signed a three-year contract extension worth $10.5 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And another running back, Najeh Davenport, has been released by the Pittsburgh Steelers, who had been unsuccessful in their attempts to trade the 29-year-old.
