The Giants waived quarterback Kyle Lauletta as a part of their moves to reach the 53-man roster limit. The move leaves Alex Tanney as the No. 3 QB behind starter Eli Manning and first-round pick Daniel Jones.
Between an October arrest and a poor professional debut, Lauletta dug himself into a bit of a hole. Although the 2018 fourth-round pick is just 24 and had enough upside to merit a mid-round selection, the 31-year-old Tanney edged him out in practice. This, perhaps, isn’t a huge surprise after the G-Men signed him to a two-year, $2.1MM contract with $775K guaranteed.
Besides Lauletta, here’s how the Giants got to the limit.

Absolute disgrace to keep Tanney. SMFH. This guy is invincible no matter how poorly he plays. Kyle outplayed him all preseason
Surprising because Lauletta was the new regimes pick last year.
Lauletta should join the Patriots. We had interest in him two years ago. I know Belichick doesn’t like having three QBs on the roster, but I’d be worth looking into him.
Tanney is trash
Man I loved him last year especially when he tried to recreate oj ‘s epic run from the police
