blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 The move is primarily for salary cap reasons, as it will save New York $3.75 million next year. The team had already started shedding money with the release of linebacker Michael Boley, who made 92 tackles and intercepted three passes this year. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/2/6/3959346/ahmad-bradshaw-released-new-york-giants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he finds a team that can use his services. Maybe the other NY team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can agree with observer, there are several teams in play here.Not surprised at all. This is a business,but someones going to get a good player and veteran leader. Best of luck to him.

Lance 228 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I've heard Atlanta. Jacobs is also floating around out there, be a nice tandem RB game for a team thats weak at RB for cheap money...if AB takes a year off to get healthy he'll still get paid by the Giants...he had $9m of his last contract guaranteed. Giants are still $4m over the cap and have to sign Victor Cruz to a long term deal. Hakeem Nicks might be next to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's crossed it and is now digging a trench to China. I don't know about Atlanta, though. They're looking to cut Turner for the exact same reason. It's just not a good play for the Falcons: taking a marginally more productive back with marginally more health issues. But GMs make puzzling, dumb moves. I wouldn't count anything out, though.

Lance 228 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 AB is a good pass blocker though and Ryan could use it. I think that's his strongest asset. So far heard Falcons, Fins, and Colts might have interest....but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants have already said they will look to extend Nicks before they even look at Cruz contract. But after cutting Chris Canty as well, it should make keeping both wide outs a little easier.

But after cutting Chris Canty as well, it should make keeping both wide outs a little easier. Looking and what the Giants want to spend and what Nicks will take are two different things...given that he's been a bit injury prone as well the Giants might not want to pay what he will want. Also...as with AB being a great example, it's nice to sign these big contracts and extensions, but you have to get it guaranteed or you just get dropped as soon as its "business".

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have a sinking feeling that Bradshaws' days as a professional athlete are done. He came out the day after their last regular season game saying that his return would be questionable. I'd sure love to see him playing somewhere next year...but my gut tells me that he is ready to hang it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker 82 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 In the world of non-guaranteed contracts, this is what happens when your team rebuilds. He didn't sound shocked, it is just the business of the sport. The Giants may re-sign him, for less $$$, or he might end up somewhere else. Keep in mind that he is at the point where he is nearing the end of what would be a average career in years for a starting NFL back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
