Wohh.  That's a head scratcher.

Wow. I'm surprised.

Apparently, they have been asking him to take a pay cut.  Told him today, he takes the cut or gets released.  He chose release.

Good for him. A contract is a contract. This is a horrible look for Schoen.

 

These are the little, less obvious things you see around the Giants that show a rotten foundation. They had to cut a versatile CB who is a good special teams player because they needed a few $$$ in cap space midseason (a 2-7 team), and had been hounding him for weeks about it. Some real wizards in financial operations.

Agreed. Not a great look.

1.3 million dead cap hit.

Literally every team has these types of situations.

Not saying I agree with it, but this is not Schoen or Giants specific in that regard.

He is a solid player, would have liked to keep him.

He won't be out of work for long

I don't doubt it, can play solid anywhere in secondary and can contribute in ST, he may not be a game changer but thats some solid depth who can spot start.

Why not ask Jones to restructure?

Because doing that ties him to them past this year.  Right now they can finally be rid of him without a penalty after this season provided he doesn't get hurt.  If they restructure that's going to add at least a year or dead cap money should they move on after the season.  It's yet another indication they want nothing more to do with him after this season is over.

Do you have a link or any proof that this is the case?
I couldn't find it.
