The Giants claiming Ryquell Armstead will result in the team moving veteran Joe Webb off its roster. The Giants released the quarterback/wide receiver/special-teamer Tuesday.
An 11-year veteran, Webb caught on with the Giants late last season. The team then signed him to a reserve/futures contract in January. Webb, however, will return to free agency.
Webb, 34, has been one of the NFL’s more versatile players during his career. He started a playoff game at quarterback — a Vikings first-round loss to the Packers — and has seen action at receiver and extensive work on special teams. The Giants signed Webb after Daniel Jones went down with an injury last year. He played in two games with the team, seeing brief time on special teams.
The Lions parted ways with Webb during the 2020 season, doing so after the Texans cut him loose earlier last year. Webb has played 104 regular-season games — with the Vikings, Panthers, Bills, Texans and Giants — over the course of his career.
Cowboys?
Packers?
Even as a Giants fan, I had no idea he was even on the team last year.
You need guys like joe webb on special teams and during the week in the film room with the younger guys
The picture used for this story is pretty awesome. Joe Webb looks bad a$$ in that pic
After the Broncos experience last year, you’d think someone would stash him on the practice squad.
I suppose Gettleman will have no problem finding another QB who has a 158.3 passer rating against Washington.
Well, there goes our chances at the playoffs
He knows how to beat the Eagles I’d have kept him
