Undrafted coming out of Oregon, Paysinger earned a spot on the Giants' roster in 2011, winning a Super Bowl as a rookie. He spent four seasons with Big Blue, his best coming in 2013, when he played in 16 games, started 10 and registered 74 tackles and a sack.
The 6-foot-2, 249-pounder was a member of the Miami Dolphins the past two seasons. Last year, he played in 15 games, started three and had 58 tackles. The 28-year-old is also a solid special teams contributor.
Paysinger joins a group of middle linebackers that also includes Demario Davis and Bruce Carter.
