Mr. P Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 New York Giants & #8207;@Giants 29s30 seconds ago #Giants have waived/injured TE Matt LaCosse and FB Nikita Whitlock; waive WR Myles White and LS Tyler Ott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allstarjim Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 No surprises. It did seem that White had fallen behind both King and Lewis. IN the case of Whitlock, don't they commonly re-sign these kinds of players after clearing waivers, and then place on IR? I think that will be the case with him.

I think when waived/injured if they clear waivers they simply end up on our IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Whitlock is a fun gimmick player, but there's really no room on the roster for a fullback who can't block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Whitlock is a fun gimmick player, but there's really no room on the roster for a fullback who can't block. And one who needs surgery for a lis franc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Whitlock is a fun gimmick player, but there's really no room on the roster for a fullback who can't block. Honestly if he wasnt hurt I'd would just put him out at LB in Spags defense and have him rush the passer on bltiz packages. He cant block but he knows how to get after the QB.

Mr. P Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Aaron Wilson Verified account @AaronWilson_NFL Giants cut Shane McDermott Dan Duggan @DDuggan21 8m8 minutes ago Source tells me that the Giants have released WR Kadron Boone. Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan 18m18 minutes ago The #Giants also released WR K.J. Maye and CB Joe Powell, per sources. Maye flashed at times. Saw some potential.

Treehugger Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Taylor and Bennett...I wouldn't mind seeing them on the practice squad if they clear waivers and are healthy. I don't think either one would qualify for practice squad as they've both had too much roster time. Maybe Bennett but no way for Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 I don't expect 'good' on the practice squad. Experienced is sufficient for me. Can't be too experienced, per the rules. and I think Jackson and Taylor are too experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treehugger Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Who's eligible for the practice squad? Not all players are eligible for a team's practice squad. Eligibility is limited to players who were on an active roster for fewer than six games, or were on the 45-man active gameday roster for fewer than nine games. Plenty of practice squad spots will go to rookies who are still adjusting to the speed and skill of the NFL, but players with limited gameday experience or previous time on the practice squad to start their career are usually eligible, too. A player is allowed on the practice squad for up to two years, with one year counting as six weeks in a season. A third year on the practice squad is only allowed if the team keeps 53 players on the active-inactive list at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 With Malleck, Lacosse, and Whitlock gone, and Will Johnson out indefinitely, you'd think the Giants would have to be scouring the waiver wire for some decent blocking at TE/FB. I mean, we're not really about to go into the season with Larry Donnell and Will Tye setting the edge, are we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
