Last year, on the day of final cuts, when the first victims were announced, I posted them on Big Blue View, and wound up sitting in front of the computer all day long as the cuts just kept flowing in.
So here we go again.
We'll leave this thread up all day, and I'll just post the cuts here as the day goes on. If there are any big names cut around the NFL, I will post them here as well.
Beware "The Turk"!
UPDATE:10:30 First cut is in guys, and as we all suspected, its David Tyree. Thanks for the greatest memory David
UPDATE: 10:45 S Sha'reff Rashad cut, may go to the practice squad
UPDATE: 10:50 DE Maurice Evans cut, this one is a surprise
UPDATE: 11:22: Andre Woodson cut, Vacchiano reporting Giants may only carry 2 QB's
UPDATE: 11:25 Michael Matthews and CB DeAndre Wright have been cut
UPDATE: 11:38: DE Robert Henderson has been cut
UPDATE: 11:52: LB Kenny Ingram has been waived, probably to go to the practice squad
UPDATE: 12:00: Ralph Vacchiano and MIke Garafolo are reporting Bomar has been cut, and will go to the practice squad if he clears waivers

Tyree and Safety
It’s sad to see him go, but it had to happen…
Anyone else intrested in Cardinals former Safety Fransisco? It feels like we should really search for the other teams cuts when it comes to our lasts spots at OL, CD and S.

Maurice Evans cut that is a surprise, I didn’t think the Giants cut defensive lineman, ever

Evans
Evans is a nice player but the Giants are loaded at RE with Umenyoria, Kiwanuka and maybe at times Clint Sintim where is he going 2 play
by Redeyejed on Sep 5, 2009 11:05 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
VERY VERY dissapointed about Evans being cut
he will be on somebody else’s roster by the end of this day. Maybe the Giants are going to be carrying 3 QBs (Eli, Carr, Bomar) or maybe 7 WRs (Smith, Hixon, Nicks, Manningham, Barden, Moss, Hagan) now??

Who the hell is going to be our blocking TE other then Boss on some plays??? Beckham can’t block for shit

probably Darcy Johnson?

Matthews wasn't all that great
and Darcy can actually be a decent receiving option…so yea.

How many receiving TEs do we need?
We got Boss and Beckham already. I want somebody who is going to block for Eli so he has time to throw
by 732jerseyP on Sep 5, 2009 11:40 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Id rather have every TE on the roster
capable of catching passes.
Beckum is the only guy Id say is specifically a H-Back, receiving TE tho. Boss is an excellent blocker and since they cut Matthews Id think the staff believes Johnson can block too.
Matthews was damn near 300lbs….Johnson is more athletic and is a receiving option. That’s what I meant.

Surprised to see Evans go
I firgued with Alford gone, they’ve keep a guy in that mold (I know Evans isn’t a DT, but he looked like an inside guy on pass rush downs…)
Also would be surprised to see Bomar get waived. I hope he doesn’t get snatched up tho.
GODZZIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
by FreeBradshaw on Sep 5, 2009 11:32 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
if Bomar is waived he will be on somebody else's roster
There is def talent there regardless if he didn’t get on the field that much this preseason. Somebody is waiting on him to be available.
by 732jerseyP on Sep 5, 2009 11:35 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
that's probably true
Im surprised none of the 5-7th round guys make the team at all. I didn’t think all, but I also didn’t think none would make it.
Oh well, but hopefully they latch on somehow.

not really.....
In hindsight, yea a waste…
but I don’t think even if they thought they had a Boss, Bradshaw and Michael Johnson like the 2007 draft that they would have made this squad.
I really didn’t think they waive Bomar tho…It aint official but its probably gonna happen. I woulda thought he’d make the squad cuz they are gonna need a backup next year if Carr leaves.

David Tyree
Well said! That’s why I joined up, as well.
Mr. Tyree, you are a class act, and I hope you have success wherever you go. I wish the Giants had the smarts to keep you, you always play with a lot of heart, and made some clutch plays when it counted, including the GREATEST clutch play in the history of the franchise! As far as I’m concerned, Boss, Beckham and the rest of the receivers have some mighty big shoes to fill…

he's still going to be playing on somebody else's team by the end of this year
by 732jerseyP on Sep 5, 2009 11:39 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
by the end of today...
i have a feeling there’s a bidding war for him because he may even start for some DE pass-rush starving teams (i.e. Lions, Seahawks, Falcons). Heck, by mid year he could be a starter in the league.

this is always a tough day
sad to see guys i was really pulling for like bomar, matthews, evans, and especially tyree to make this team. hopefully tyree catches on somewhere else and some of these guys make it to our practice squad, but i have a feeling almost the entire nfl is gonna vulture everyone we cut because theres so much talent

IMO
Evans will be gone…Bomar I think has a chance of hanging around. I think the Giants purposely gave Bomar very little time to try to “hide” him, it might just work….
Can’t believe we cut our 5th, 6th, and 7th round draft picks.
I still woulda kept Travonti Johnson. Who the hell knows what Ross will be like when he gets back and if he even stays healthy…at this point I think Canty’s ahead of him, at least he’s starting to do SOME work.

what Redeyejed says is true, then Bruce Johnson made the team. Apparently playing for the U makes you better than other players?

Surprises
Matthews and T. Johnson are surprising. I guess the Giants will be trolling for free-agent safety help. It’s no big surprise that some of the draft picks have been cut. You knew coming in they couldn’t all make it. So, you open a competition and see what develops. This will be a very good team. I wish the Giants had kept Evans, too, but they do love what Tollefson brings — and he is a good special teams player.
by Ed Valentine on Sep 5, 2009 2:12 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
So
The roster includes 8 linebackers (not including Boley) and only 3 safeties, one of whom is CC Brown, who hasn’t looked too good in the pre season. I have to think there’s some other moves coming once the rest of the league cuts are clear. It’s hard to believe we’d go into the regular season with just 3 safeties. It also looks as if Leger Douzable is on the squad. I guess they preferred him over Evans because he plays tackle, and with Canty, Bernard, Robbins and Cofield all hurt or coming off injuries and Alford out for the year a tackle made more sense. I think Douzable played pretty well during the preseason too, but I’ll be sorry to see Evans go, if someone else signs him. I think he’ll be a good player in this league.
As for the linebackers, one will have to go after game one when Boley comes back and DeOssie is the long snapper so he’s safe. I assume Wilkinson will go then. Even so, eight seems like a lot from a group that isn’t filled with star power.

Who clears and makes the practice squad
will be instrumental in whether these were good or bad decisions.
Evans and Bomar? I have my fingers crossed.
I’ve a feeling TC and JR are looking at specific players (safeties) from other teams due to get cut.
by MSP Giant on Sep 5, 2009 3:43 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
CC Brown is terrible
i would be shocked if the Giants dont bring in another backup safety or defensive back
by GiantsReignSupreme on Sep 5, 2009 3:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Bomar and Evans going is such a mistake
please clear waivers!
Also, much love to Tyree. Thanks for the Super Bowl, guy. Not just the helmet catch, but never forget he had a TD in the game, too. Would have liked to see you make it as a special teams player or something, back when you were a pro bowler.

waivers
It’s my understanding that a player can be withdrawn from waivers if the team so desires, that is, if someone tries to claim him. In that case, they can cut someone else and make room for the “waivee.” I think this may be what the Gints are trying to do with Bomar and Evans. They have to have a quarterback on the pratice squad if there are only two on the active roster. Because anything can happen. And I’m sure they want to hang on to Evans and let him develop for another year. These guys can always get promoted if, God forbid, there’s a season-ending injury. However, here’s the biggest problem…another team can still lure them off the practice squad with a good offer.
In another vein, I still think they’re gonna keep nine linebackers because they’re all decent players. (Wish they were better than decent but it seems that they’re not.) Someone else could get cut when Boley comes back.

Rumors
There are rumors rumbling about a possible trade of Sinorice Moss or Derek Hagan. This would be interesting…
Yeah, we like NFL here in Brazil.
by GiantsBRFan on Sep 5, 2009 4:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I thought the idea of 7 WR's
would be a stretch…i think the giants have carried 6 since coughlin has been here. Might as well try to trade one and grab a Draft Pick. We shoulda parlayed some of our later round picks for future picks anyhow.
But I’m curious…where are these rumors coming from?
JR did a pretty good job w/ the draft this year; Nicks, Barden, Sintim, Brown, Beatty, Beckum….so it kinda makes up for the fact that we cut our last 3 picks…I know a 5th, 6th, and 7th rounder aren’t exactly “gold” but, each one of those picks could have moved us up further in each respective round…or a whole round depending on the future year.

Any more cuts to come?
I may have miscounted, but it appears we have cut 19 which puts us down to 56 – so three more cuts to be announced. Does anyone else agree?

I honestly think
the roster will be trimmed to 53, but that won’t be the final roster.. another addition will be made.

We got a draft pick from the patriots for Matthews
2011 draft pick that the patriots acquired from the New Orleans through another deal…supposedly
it’s nice we are getting something for Matthews
There is also talk of Moss drawing interest from the dolphins…but thats it…people on giants.com boards are theorizing we are trying to deal for Gibril wilson
by 732jerseyP on Sep 5, 2009 6:39 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Gibril Wilson
I was upset we didn’t go out and get him when the Raiders cut him. I thought he’d be good to come back, but maybe he didn’t want to if he chose the Dolphins.
The Newark Star-Ledger is saying we only need to get down to 54 cause Boley will be suspended for the first game. You can get the updated projected roster here: http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2009/09/ny_giants_cut_super_bowl_xlii.html

I think there is only one to go?!
I heard earlier that only 20 players need to be cut, in part because of Boley susp.
so if were at 19 then there is only one to go. I was wondering about Stoney Woodson because I read that he was placed on IR, but I dont see anything reported to that nature elsewhere and I dont see his name on the cuts……..anybody know anything about him?

Matthews
Matthews wasnt cut, he was traded to NE for a conditional pick (a 7th probably)

draft picks
Don’t forget that we had extra second and third round picks, so that didn’t leave much space for 5-6-7.

Tyree
Obviously a fan favorite, I would like to see the the Jets pick him up, if not for special teams were they have an excellent coach, but for a thin and inexperienced receiving corp, and a rookie QB. He will land somewhere. One one cut coming when Boley gets
on the field. If Carr goes after one more year, Bomar if kept on the practice is not readt to become a number 2, back-up Qbs are a dime a dozen, unless your looking to have your number 2 ready to challenge your starter.
