"New York Giants (/teams/newyorkgiants/profile?team=NYG) wide receiver
Domenik Hixon (/players/domenikhixon/profile?id=HIX462619), who has
played only two games the past two seasons after tearing his right ACL twice, is
"hoping to finalize a contract very soon" to return to the team, his agent Eric
Metz told The Star-Ledger (http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2012/02/agent_for_giants_domenik_hixon.html) on Tuesday.
<p id="yui_3_4_1_1_1330490297796_4676">Hixon, 27, had a $600,000 base salary last
season and earned a $250,000 roster bonus, according to the newspaper, but tore
his right ACL in Week 2. He had suffered the same injury at a minicamp in June
2010.</p>
With Mario Manningham (/players/mariomanningham/profile?id=MAN547041) expecting to leave (http://www.nfl.com/goto?id=v) the Giants as a free agent, Hixon could get a
chance for increased playing time if he is fully recovered.</p>
Hixon, who had four catches for 50 yards and a touchdown last season, has 63
catches for 838 yards and four touchdowns in his six-year career.</p>
He played his first two seasons in Denver."</p>
