The Giants waived kicker Tom Obarski in a corresponding move.
Bullock, 26, has had stints with the Houston Texans and New York Jets in his career. Between the two teams last season, he finished 19-of-23 on field goals and 22-of-25 on extra points.
It will be fascinating to see which player wins the starting position following Brown's suspension. Bullock will have at least one advantage in the competition, per Ryan Smith of Pro Football Focus:
Ryan Smith @PFF_SmithRandy Bullock is much better on kickoffs. Josh Brown was the 3rd lowest graded K in 2015 (@PFF). #Giants
On the other hand, the Giants have already made a financial commitment to Brown, according to Tom Pelissero of USA Today:
Tom Pelissero @TomPelisseroOne-year deal for Bullock with #NYG, who gave Josh Brown (suspended Week 1) a $1M guarantee on 2-year deal in April.
On Tuesday, Bullock told reporters he was told by the Giants he was brought in to compete with Brown for the starting job.
Brown was 30-of-32 on field goals in 2015, hitting 11 of his 13 attempts from 40-plus yards out, while also going 44-of-45 on extra points. In his three seasons with the Giants, Brown has missed just seven field goals on 84 attempts, so he appears to hold the upper hand in the field-goal and extra-point departments.
Regardless, Bullock's signing fills an immediate need for Week 1 and will give the team options in the kicking game in Week 2 and beyond if he wins the job
