In addition to bringing in quarterback David Carr for a visit, the Giants last night and today also will meet and get to know linebacker Danny Clark, who, like Carr, has a Giants connection.
Carr played for QB coach Chris Palmer when Palmer was the offensive coordinator in Houston. Clark back in 2000 was drafted out of Illinois by Tom Coughlin and spent four years in Jacksonville, three with Coughlin.
A strong side linebacker, Clark if signed would fill the roster spot opened up when Reggie Torbor signed with the Dolphins. Mathias Kiwanuka, coming back from a broken leg, is expected to resume his linebacker career and in reserve on the strong side, the Giants at the moment have Zak DeOssie entering his second year.
Clark turns 31 on May 9 and in his eight-year career had his best seasons in 2004 (130 tackles) and 2005 (113 tackles) starting for the Raiders. He’s spent one year with the Saints and last season with the Texans.
The 6-2, 245-pound Clark has played in 122 NFL games, with 67 starts, and would be a core special teams player for the Giants. paul.schwartz@nypost.com
