The Giants must shrink their roster to 53 players by Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET. Who will be leaving the active roster?
The annual cutdown date has arrived.
By Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. ET, the Giants must shrink their active roster to 53 players. Thus, some of the individuals you saw in the preseason games may eventually move on to other teams, while others could have their careers ended.
It’s a sad day for many, but unfortunately, a mandatory one around the league.
Who will the Giants be cutting ahead of the deadline?
OL Chad Slade
CB Madre Harper
The Giants are higher on rookie corner Rodarius Williams, who impressed during the preseason after he was drafted in the sixth round.
TE Nakia Griffin-Stewart
There’s a chance the Giants sign Nakia Griffin-Stewart to the practice squad given some uncertainties at tight end (Evan Engram is dealing with a calf injury and Kyle Rudolph is coming off foot surgery).
LB Niko Lalos
WR (and DB) Matt Cole
WR David Sills
While many fans were hoping Sills would make the final roster, the former West Virginia standout will not be on the final 53. Maybe another stint on the practice squad?
QB Brian Lewerke
WR Damion Willis
RB Corey Clement
The release of Corey Clement paved the way for rookie running back Gary Brightwell to make the team.
WR Alex Bachman (Injured Reserve)
WR Austin Mack (Injured Reserve)
LB Devante Downs
A Devante Downs cut leads to Reggie Ragland making the final roster.
DL Willie Henry
DE Ifeadi Odenigbo
OL Brett Heggie
OL Jake Burton
OL Jackson Barton
OL Jonotthan Harrison, Kenny Wiggins
The release of all these offensive linemen comes in the midst of two trades for alternative “hog mollies.” The Giants traded for Bengals interior lineman Billy Price Monday before acquiring interior lineman Ben Bredeson from the Ravens Tuesday.
DB Jordyn Peters
TE Jake Hausmann
S Chris Johnson
OL Ted Larsen (Injured Reserve)
LS Casey Kreiter
DT David Moa
DT Elijah Qualls
OLB Ryan Anderson
Ryan Anderson was a long shot to make the team, and this recent suspension made his path to a roster spot that much rockier.
