The deadline for teams to trim their rosters to the 53-man regular-season limit just passed. Here is how the Giants slashed their roster:
Released:
- OLB Ryan Anderson
- C Jonotthan Harrison
- DL Willie Henry
- LS Casey Kreiter
- OL Chad Slade
- OL Kenny Wiggins
Waived:
- OL Jackson Barton
- OL Jake Burton
- WR Matt Cole
- LB Devante Downs
- TE Nakia Griffin-Stewart
- DB Madre Harper
- TE Jake Hausmann
- OL Brett Heggie
- DB Chris Johnson
- LB Niko Lalas
- QB Brian Lewerke
- DL David Moa
- DB Jordyn Peters
- RB Sandro Platzgummer
- DL Elijah Qualls
- WR David Sills
- WR Damion Willis
Placed on reserve/PUP list:
Placed on IR:
- WR Alex Bachman
- OL Ted Larsen
- WR Austin Mack
The bevy of O-line cuts come after the Giants made two trades to bolster their front, with Wiggins, Slade and Harrison failing to dissuade the team from making those trades. New York acquired center Billy Price and guard Ben Bredeson. Wiggins is a nine-year vet who previously was a full-time starter with the Chargers and Lions. A former Colts and Jets starter, Harrison has played six seasons. He signed with the Giants in January. Veterans of all experience levels can catch on with teams’ practice squads; six players of unlimited experience are eligible per P-squad.
Larsen’s season is over, with the Giants anyway. IR-return moves only apply if a team carried a player through to its 53-man roster. While Kreiter appears on Big Blue’s cut list, the team is expected to re-sign the veteran snapper. A third-round rookie, Robinson underwent core muscle surgery recently. He is out for at least the season’s first six weeks.
It’s been a busy day of firings, interviews, retirements, and even arrests, but that doesn’t mean we won’t make time for some minor moves:
Baltimore Ravens
- Cut: CB Nate Brooks
Carolina Panthers
- Re-signed: TE Colin Thompson
Cleveland Browns
- Signed off Bengals’ practice squad: CB Brian Allen
New York Giants
- Re-signed: DB Madre Harper, OT Jackson Barton
Philadelphia Eagles
- Re-signed: DT T.Y. McGill
