Does anybody wish to play for the New York Giants lately?
I’m certain there are a number of, however primarily based on nearly each participant who leaves — both by their very own volition or the workforce’s — appears to consider they’re higher off.
The Giants not too long ago launched cornerback Nick McCloud in a curious transfer that turned out to be cap-related. He was scooped up by the San Francisco 49ers this week and positioned on their apply squad.
McCloud was a key contributor on protection and particular groups however accidents have compelled the Giants to shuffle their roster and McCloud, who was introduced again this previous offseason on a one-year, $2.985 million restricted free agent tender, turned expendable as Massive Blue was bumping up towards the wage cap.
Like most gamers who’ve left the Giants, they really feel as in the event that they’ve been liberated. Giants large receiver Darius Slayton commented on McCloud’s social media web page, showing to name him a “free man.”

There was fairly a little bit of chatter this 12 months relating to how basic supervisor Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll have dealt with personnel strikes.
That has not gone unnoticed within the locker room. The dropping hasn’t helped. The commerce deadline got here and went with out the workforce making any strikes, but it surely wasn’t from an absence of making an attempt.
Nonetheless, Slayton’s remark wasn’t what it seems. Whereas McCloud and others are, certainly, discovering extra success away from East Rutherford, it seems the veteran receiver wasn’t providing a commentary on the state of the Giants.
