Giants didn't let Barry Cofield leave without a fight, agent says | NJ.com

As for the move to a 3-4 defense, McCartney indicated it wasn't anything that scared Cofield.

"The thing about Barry is he played (nose tackle) in college and he's a big-body guy, so he's one of the few interior guys who can go either inside or outside. He has some versatility," said McCartney, a former director of personnel for the Eagles. "The one thing he hasn't had a chance to do a lot of is get up the field, and I think the Redskins' coaches did a good job of saying, 'We're going to utilize you in a variety of ways.'"
