Even if Jayron Hosley and Markus Kuhn are, at least for now, still part of the roster. In recent seasons the Giants are open to the criticism that they kept too many players because of what they used to be able to do, or simply because they drafted them and were too stubborn to move on from them. Finally! That, if you are a Giants fan, is worth celebrating. Tried to reshape this roster and give this team a different look and feel from the one that simply hasn't been good enough in recent years. What is it that they appear to have done? Let go of the past. What is worth celebrating is what seems to be the over-arching goal behind what the Giants have done over the past week in constructing their current 53-man roster. Celebrating their release, or that of any individual player, just isn't right. There were several other interesting moves, going back to the cuts from 90 to 75 players when offensive lineman Brandon Mosley was waived/injured. The Giants also cut the veteran McClain, opting for the upside and athleticism of Uani Unga. Guys like Steve Weatherford and Hynoski were valuable members of a Giants' championship team, and good people to boot. Wide receiver Corey Washington (shoulder) was waived/injured. Waived: TE Adrien Robinson, OL Adam Gettis, OL Emmett Cleary, OL Sean Donnelly, WR Julian Talley, RB Kenneth Harper, QB Ricky Stanzi, DT Dominique Hamilton, DE Brad Bars, LB Cole Farrand, CB Chandler Fenner, CB C.J. Placed on IR: S Nat Berhe (calf), OL Brett Jones (knee) Getting turned away at the door is never easy, or something that should be celebrated.Ĭontracts terminated: LB Jameel McClain, FB Henry Hynoski, WR James Jones, CB Chykie Brown, S Jeromy Miles, LB Ashlee Palmer Each player who was ever part of the Giants' 90-man roster poured everything had into either starting or continuing an NFL career. That is not because I am happy anyone got cut. Hooray! That is my instant, initial reaction to the roster cuts announced Saturday - and over the past few days - as they have trimmed their roster to reach the 53-man regular-season limit.
