The 2013 NFL Free Agency period does not start until March 12, but business is already picking up with more and more players being told they are being released or will be allowed to hit the open market, including a pair of New York Giants -- running back Kregg Lumpkin and cornerback Justin Tryon.
Aaron Wilson tweeted that the Giants would release Lumpkin, who carried nine times for 42 yards in five games for the Giants after being signed midseason. Rlph Vacchiano then tweeted that the Giants will allow Tryon to hit the market. Tryon has played 19 games for the Giants over the past two seasons as a special teamer and reserve cornerback.
Interestingly, the Jacksonville Jaguars cut former Giants' cornerback Aaron Ross on Friday. Ross, 30, signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with Jacksonville before the 2012 season. He started nine of 14 games, making 65 tackles but no interceptions. Quarterbacks had a 109.4 passer rating when targeting Ross last season.
Here are a couple of other free-agency notes of interest.
