Free agent tight end Brandon Myers has agreed to contract terms with the New York Giants, USA Today reported Saturday.

Specifics of the deal were not available.

Myers, 28, emerged as a capable receiver last season, catching 79 passes for 806 yards and four touchdowns for the Oakland Raiders, with whom he spent four seasons after being drafted in the sixth round. His best season before last year was 16 catches in 2011.

The Giants had an opening at tight end after Martellus Bennett signed a four-year contract with the Chicago Bears earlier this week.
