Idonije

@ProFootballTalk: Giants release Israel Idonije, per league source.

That must have been a tough cut

Canton : 8/30/2014 8:03 am : link

He looked solid and can play specials.

bit of a surprise

bc4life : 8/30/2014 8:03 am : link

thought he might stick, guess there just wasn't enough room

Interesting

djm : 8/30/2014 8:05 am : link

Dude played well in the preseason but he's really just a guy..

Shows how little we "see" in preseason

Probably be available(at his age) if needed

Surprising.

AcidTest : 8/30/2014 8:10 am : link

I had him making it over Kuhn. Guess not. I think even at his age, someone will be interested in his services. And because he's a vested veteran, he doesn't have to pass through waivers.

For want of a better word, IMO there is a de facto Practice Squad:

Bobby Epps : 8/30/2014 8:16 am : link

Players who are up in age or been kicking around for several years or are added to rosters only when players are injured.

I put Idonije and Painter in this category- if we cut them, it's unlikely they will be picked up by anyone else and will be available to be re-signed, if needed.

Bold, speaking of moves, Jerome..

Big Blue '56 : 8/30/2014 8:17 am : link

Some day..Hopefully sooner rather than later..:)

Idonije

Matt in SGS : 8/30/2014 8:17 am : link

I wonder if this is a circumstance where they released him so he's not on the roster in week 1 and plan to bring him back so his contract is not guaranteed.

if giants keep 5 wr's

SBlue46 : 8/30/2014 8:17 am : link

Which a lot of reporters think , there
will be a surprise.. 4 would be cut..

He is too slow

RetroJint : 8/30/2014 8:18 am : link

To play DE in the division the way the offenses are constituted. The younger guys run better. Now tell me all Coughlin does is take veterans.

No. "We saw what we thought we saw". Front office obviously got it wrong.

CruzShip52 : 8/30/2014 8:19 am : link

over what we expect, because i think a lot of guys from other rosters will be giants by next week

Excellent point Matt

Retro

bc4life : 8/30/2014 8:21 am : link

He looked like he had pretty good closing speed.

Not arguing whether he should have been kept. JPP and Moore weren't going anywhere. They just signed Ayers - so Idonije would have had to beat out Kiwi or proved he was more valuable as a DE than Kuhn was as a DT.

My wife and I are saving every day. :)

Giants will keep 6 Wrs in my opinion

djm : 8/30/2014 8:21 am : link

Especially when you factor in beckham's injury.

Agreed. Good thought.

Today would be a better day

Spock : 8/30/2014 8:30 am : link

Had we not won our last two games last year. Instead, anyone decent who is cut is gobbled up before us.

and if Hitler was

Headhunter : 8/30/2014 8:32 am : link

never born the world would be a different place

Jints in Carolina : 8/30/2014 8:39 am : link

Conor Orr ‏@ConorTOrr 1m
Kelcy Quarles tweets that he's been released. #NYG

Quarles

AcidTest : 8/30/2014 8:44 am : link

is a guy who may not pass through waivers.

Quarrels tweets he's on the practice squad

jeff57 : 8/30/2014 8:45 am : link

Quarles

Carl in CT : 8/30/2014 8:45 am : link

One player I wanted to stick. Great guy and high motor. I think we make a mistake if we kept Patterson over him!

Wynne probably made it with these two cuts

jeff57 : 8/30/2014 8:48 am : link

Hosley and Herman to reserve/suspended list

This is what I thought. Very possible.

Corey Washington made it!

Sean : 8/30/2014 8:55 am : link

Corey Washington Jr. ‏@HeDoubleTrouble 8m

Thank God I made it. #Gmen

Conner apparently

halfback20 : 8/30/2014 8:55 am : link

Released

Kuhn is not being cut

ZogZerg : 8/30/2014 8:56 am : link

He gets at least one more year with Giants.

Giants are not bringing in a bunch of new players cut from other teams. I could see one, two at the most.

Dan Fox and Kellen Davis released

Jints in Carolina : 8/30/2014 8:57 am : link

along with Bennett Jackson

Huh?

Does Herzlich definitely make it?

rdt288 : 8/30/2014 8:59 am : link

Hopefully

dep026 : 8/30/2014 8:59 am : link

Jackson sneaks on to the PS. I think he has some skills.

If Bennett Jackson cut,

Bobby Epps : 8/30/2014 9:01 am : link

guess that Fenner made the team

Jackson will make practice squad

ZogZerg : 8/30/2014 9:01 am : link

Connor cut

jeff57 : 8/30/2014 9:01 am : link

Kellen Davis cut

jeff57 : 8/30/2014 9:02 am : link

Surprised they cut Jackson

jeff57 : 8/30/2014 9:03 am : link

Holliday up in the air

Defenderdawg : 8/30/2014 9:04 am : link

@JordanRaanan: Hearing that WR/KR Trindon Holliday is still up in the air. Seeing how everything plays out here. #giants

Jamal Johnson-Webb cut

Surprised about Connor,

Big Blue '56 : 8/30/2014 9:05 am : link

so Hyno must be ok albeit an injury waiting to happen

Saw it on twitter. I'm not a twitter expert so I'm never 100% confident in what I read there lol

IMO John Conner is on the de facto practice Squad-

Bobby Epps : 8/30/2014 9:08 am : link

don't think anyone else will sign him and, thus, will be available if we need him.

4 TE never made sense

BillT : 8/30/2014 9:10 am : link

Given the talent level.
