Free agent wide receiver Brandon Marshall has signed a two-year deal with the New York Giants.

Marshall, who will turn 33 later in March, was released by the New York Jets last week but said he would prefer to remain in the area.

And his new contract means Marshall will continue to play his home games at Met Life Stadium in New Jersey, which is shared by the two franchises.

On Twitter, Marshall posted a picture of the signed contact on Wednesday with the headline: "Done Deal!!!! #GMEN."

Marshall's signing will give quarterback Eli Manning yet another talented receiver to throw to next season.

He will play opposite Odell Beckham Jr, with the Giants also having talented youngster Sterling Shepard as a third option.

Marshall had 59 catches for 788 yards and three touchdowns with the Jets last season when his previous franchise struggled to find a dependable quarterback.
