It would lead to a two–yard touchdown pass fromDan Marino to wide receiverOronde Gadsden to gain a 34–31 lead with 27 seconds remaining.[21] Terrell Buckley injured his ankle against the Colts and was inactive during a 31–30 victory at theNew England Patriots in Week 6, as he was replaced by Patrick Surtain.[22] On November 7, 1999, Madison made four solo tackles, four pass deflections, and set a career-high with three interceptions on pass attempts thrown bySteve McNair as the Dolphins routed theTennessee Titans 0–17.[23] In Week 11, he set a season-high with seven combined tackles (three solo), made one pass break-up, and intercepted a pass byDrew Bledsoe to tight endBen Coates during a 17–27 win against theNew England Patriots.[24] Defensive coordinator George Hill chose to bench Terrell Buckley prior to Week 13 and officially namedPatrick Surtain the No. 2 starting cornerback for the remainder of the season.

On March 1, 2006, theMiami Dolphins released Madison in order to save $2.62 million on their salary cap. At the start of the offseason, Madison stated he would refuse to restructure his contract and it would probably lead to his release. Weeks later, he alluded he'd possibly agree to restructure his contract, but no agreement was met.[46] Following his release, the Dolphins would signWill Allen andAndre Goodman. They also selectedJason Allen in the first round (16th overall) of the2006 NFL draft.

This led to Bledsoe's benching after the game resumed following halftime.[51] The Dallas Cowboys' backup quarterbackTony Romo would replaced him and would ultimately takeover as the franchise quarterback. Madison injured his hamstring and would remain inactive for the next two games (Weeks 8–9) only to aggravate the hamstring injury during a 20–38 loss against theChicago Bears in Week 10, sidelining him for another two games (Weeks 11–12). He finished the season with 39 combined tackles (33 solo), ten pass deflections, two interceptions, and one fumble recovery in 12 games and 12 starts.[9][52]
On January 11, 2007, the Giants fired defensive coordinatorTim Lewis.[53] The Giants selectedAaron Ross in the first round (20th overall) of the2007 NFL draft. To begin training camp, Madison was projected to return as a starting cornerback under the Giants' new defensive coordinatorSteve Spagnuolo, but had competition for the role from Corey Webster, Aaron Ross, andR. W. McQuarters. He was inactive for the last preseason game due to a strained hamstring. Head coach Tom Coughlin named Madison and Corey Webster the starting cornerbacks to begin the season, but opted to start R. W. McQuarters in his place for the season-opener to avoid a setback.[54]
In Week 2, he set a season-high with eight combined tackles (six solo) during a 13–35 loss to theGreen Bay Packers. The following week, he set season-highs in solo tackles (7) and pass deflections (3) during a 24–17 win at theWashington Redskins in Week 2.

TheNew York Giants finished the2007 NFL season in second in theNFC East and were able to attain a Wild-Card spot, but were forced to play all of their playoff games as the visiting team on the road. Unfortunately, Madison would be inactive for the first two playoff games after aggravating a strained muscle on his abdomen. Madison's injury has become a key part of the Giants' Super Bowl run, as he was replaced byR. W. McQuarters and rookieAaron Ross. During the NFC Divisional Round,[58] the Giants had a 21–17 lead at theDallas Cowboys and the Cowboys had engineered a 25–yard drive to be held at the Giants' 23–yard line on 4th and 11 with only 16 seconds remaining. R. W. McQuarters would secure the victory by interceptingTony Romo's touchdown pass attempt to wide receiverTerry Glenn.[59][60] On February 3, 2008, Madison appeared inSuper Bowl XLII against the undefeated 18–0New England Patriots. Madison was reduced to a backup, behind starters Corey Webster and rookie Aaron Ross and primary backup R. W. McQuarters. He was limited to two solo tackles and one pass deflection as the Giants won theSuper Bowl 17–14 in an iconic matchup.[61]
The Giants selectedTerrell Thomas in the second-round (63rd overall) of the2008 NFL draft. He entered training camp projected to earn the role as the nickel corner or as the third cornerback on the depth chart, but had to compete among teammates R. W. McQuarters, Terrell Thomas, andKevin Dockery.[62][63] Head coach Tom Coughlin named Madison a backup and listed him as the fifth cornerback on the depth chart to begin the season, behindCorey Webster,Aaron Ross, R. W. McQuarters, and Kevin Dockery. He was inactive as a healthy scratch for the Giants' home-opener as they won 16–7 against theWashington Redskins.[64]
On September 21, 2008, Madison set a season-high with three combined tackles (two solo) and had a pass deflection that occurred during a key play in overtime after they were tied 23–23 at the end of regulation against theCincinnati Bengals. During overtime, Madison had a pass break-up while covering wide receiverT.J. Houshmandzadeh on a pass byCarson Palmer on third-and-8 in overtime. His play forced a punt by the Bengals and led to the game-winning 21–yard field goal byJohn Carney to end it 23–27.[65] In Week 10, Madison made one solo tackle, one pass deflection, and intercepted a pass byDonovan McNabb to wide receiverDesean Jackson during a 36–31 victory at thePhiladelphia Eagles.[66] He was inactive for five games (Weeks 12–16) in-a-row as a healthy scratch. In Week 17, Madison appeared in the Giants' season-finale against theMinnesota Vikings and recorded one solo tackle before he was carted off the field in the third quarter of the 19–20 loss after breaking his ankle.[67] On December 30, 2008, the Giants officially placed Madison on injured reserve due to his broken ankle.[67]
"We're talking about too short of a time to recover and come back, so unfortunately he's finished and his season has come to an end, but any time you have a guy who has been such a factor and has such a great attitude, especially with offering advice to the younger guys, it's a great thing to have around."[68]
On February 9, 2009, the Giants officially released Madison with one year remaining on his four–year contract, in order to save salary cap space before the start of the new league year on March 1, 2009.[69]
Both Corey Webster and Aaron Ross attribute Madison as a reason they were able to have success in 2007 with Webster stating he acted as a counselor, tutor, and big brother while encouraging him even when he was benched.
