New York Giants Cut Eight Players Ahead NFL Deadline

News summary

The New York Giants have begun cutting players ahead of the NFL's official 53-man roster deadline, releasing eight to nine players including wide receivers Jordan Bly, Zach Pascal, Montrell Washington, linebackers K.J. Cloyd and Dyontae Johnson, cornerback O'Donnell Fortune, and offensive linemen Jimmy Morrissey and Jaison Williams. None of the four quarterbacks on the roster were cut, leaving Russell Wilson as the starter, Jameis Winston as the backup, and first-round pick Jaxson Dart as the quarterback of the future, placing Tommy DeVito in a precarious position as the fourth-string quarterback. DeVito, a fan favorite who has performed well in limited opportunities, may face release if he cannot secure a spot. Head Coach Brian Daboll praised DeVito's professionalism and noted ongoing internal discussions about the roster, including quarterback decisions. The Giants are finalizing their roster ahead of the season opener on September 7 against the Washington Commanders and are managing injuries such as cornerback TJ Moore's leg surgery. Fans have expressed surprise and concern over some cuts, particularly Montrell Washington and O'Donnell Fortune, as the team trims its lineup.
