UPDATED 3:30 PM

Here are the cuts so far announced by the Giants:

QB Anthony Wright

QB Andre Woodson

FB Robert Douglas

WR Marcus Monk

WR Brandon London

TE Eric Butler

TE Jerome Collins

OL Kurt Quarterman

OL Na'Shan Goddard

OL Andrew Bain

OL Digger Bujnoch

DE Wallace Gilberry

DE Alex Morrow

DT Jeremy Clark

DT Ogemdi Nwagbuo

LB Tank Daniels

LB James Terry

CB Geoffrey Pope

S Stuart Schweigert

OL Cliff Louis

CB Darren Barnett

The Giants are reportedly going to sign John Carney, who played for the Rams when they were still in Clevel....I mean Los Angeles, to handle the kicking. Carney worked out for the Giants today

That is 22 cuts, but someone will have to go to make room for John Carney. My money is on Reuben Droughns.

Other cuts

I will post some other notable cuts in the threads as the day goes on

Texans cut DE-LB Roosevelt Colvin

Saints cut S Lance Schulters

Browns released kicker Jason Reda, a rookie from Illinois. This may be a guy the Giants want to look at. His last two years in Illinois he was 31 for 37 on FG’s, and missed only one extra point in 4 years. He was also 3 for 3 from over 50 yards as a senior. Also, he grew up in IL, so he should be used to kicking in bad weather. This is definitely a guy I think the Giants should take a good look at.

2 QBs?

Wow – that seems pretty risky. Any chance that they will put Woodson on the practice squad? Seriously, we have all seen games where 2 QBs get knocked out in the same game, what do the Giants do?

Also, I am disappointed to see Pope go. I was rooting for him

Pope

Me, too. And they kept the two old DBs. As Ed pointed out, Pope wasn’t making plays in preseason. They might pick up a QB released by another team. I thought Gilberry might make it (not with Kiwi moved, I guess) and London as well. They’re sticking with Moss instead. Well, he’s looking better. I love it when the D has to interefere with speed guys on the long ball.

John Carney

This one has me scratching my head a bit. It would have been nice to see them bring in a young kicker, like Jan Stenerud.

In case you are keeping score at home

Between Feagles and Carney, the Giants have 86 years worth of kickers on the roster

Schweigert

He’ll find a home somewhere, he’s a better safety than a few teams have starting.

As far as Carney, I know he’s old as dirt, but his accuracy isn’t bad. He won’t make any long ones, but Tynes is supposed to be gone only for a few games.
