Along with announcing that WR Brandon Marshall has been waived after failing a physical, the Giants announced the cut OT Jessamen Dunker, who spent last year on IR with an injured foot.
Who?

Not sure why they cut Dunker

He seemed to show some promise last year. Odd time to cut him.

Promise??? When? Did you observe promise in a game?
Too bad

I was excited about him last year. A very raw but talented offensive lineman.
He was on IR in august.

What did he show?
It looked as

though they gave him the IR “redshirt.” I guess he was actually injured. There were reports that he was very athletic but needed more coaching.
We don't know what's going on with these guys.

For us, it's Kremlinology, trying to read the Giants' management's thinking and motivations by only the results. But we have no idea what they know, or think they know, or "know" that's actually wrong.

It could be a matter of his injury not healing, or him not sticking with his physical therapy, or having a drinking problem, or mouthing off to someone he shouldn't have mouthed off to, or one of a hundred things. And sometimes, management is all wrong about that.

Maybe in camp.
He showed great agility and balance

Getting off the bus on his way to camp that day.. great pivot, head on a swivel.. shame.
They liked him in the off season

Then he got hurt. Too bad he would have probably got some decent reps. Has some ability.
Wonder if he's  
bc4life : 4/19/2018 8:45 pm : link
completely done? In the league that is.

Honestly they still have like eight or more supposedly OL still on the team that could easily receive walking papers today or tomorrow and they would not be missed at all.
When they signed him as a UFA,I thought  
TheMick7 : 4/20/2018 5:33 am : link
he had a shot. With the draft less than A week away,roster spots for draft picks/UFAs are needed. I haven't counted the total # on the roster but I'm sure unless we make a trade adding draft picks,we will be manning the phones early to sign UFAs so I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more bite the dust between now & during the signings!
