Horrible move really now they have even greater needs along with running back and offensive line that is if shaun ohara doesn't re-sign.  Maybe they'll use some cap to get Briggs or June but I dont get the Arrington release I know he gets hurt a lot but they dont have a lot of depth at that position and what if Briggs and June get signed by someone else that doesnt leave many options.

Looks like GM Reese means business for the new year..As a Giants fan I was embarrassed to see them play the way they did the second half of the yearpunisher7801

For a second I thought the giants hired Floyd Resse as their GM. I had no idea they hired someone already for the GM.cobb45

Jerry Reese is their GM.

I believe that Arrington got released in Washington due to attitude problems. I wonder if those same problems persisted in New York.mxd73711

What pick do they have in the 1st round of the draft?

I heard on the radio that they may be concerned about the severity of Luke and Lavar's leg injuries..And seeing as how they were paying 49 million/year for 7 years, and his history of injuries, they probably thought better about they deal...These releases do leave them a little thin, but apparently they have a game plan in mind for making some changes, and I as a Giants fan hope its for the better..I am willing to give GM Reese the benefit of the doubt..punisher7801

all those linebackers suck anyways. it was good move on giants partdkhw

i like the moves, they need to sign a CB, even if they have to pay top $ for him. No CB's out of the draft are not gonna be ready to start till 2 or more years and plus the giants suck at drafting CB's.fws831
