Super Bowl winner Youth B.J. Hill Jerseys , cancer survivor and NFLPA treasurer Mark Herzlich was among the 36 player moves made by the New York Giants in getting down to the league's 53-man roster limit.The Giants announced the moves Saturday in what won't be the last ones for the first team under new coach Pat Shurmur. General manager Dave Gettleman plans to scour the waiver wire this weekend to bolster a team that went 3-13 last season.There were some surprises. Defensive tackles A.J. Francis and Robert Thomas were released after playing well in the preseason, while free safeties Andrew Adams and Darian Thompson also were let go after contributing much of the past two seasons.One other surprise was the Giants kept four quarterbacks: Eli Manning, Davis Webb, rookie draft pick Kyle Lauletta and veteran Alex Tanney.Herzlich, who turned 31 on Saturday, had his contract terminated along with defensive backs Leonard Johnson and Chris Lewis-Harris, and offensive lineman Chris Scott.Thompson, who missed most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, and linebacker Jordan Williams (hip/shoulder) were waived-injured.Waived were: running backs Jalen Simmons and Jhurell Pressley; wide receivers Roger Lewis, Kalif Raymond, Travis Rudolph, Alonzo Russell, Marquis Bundy, Amba Etta-Tawo, and Jawill Davis; tight ends Ryan O'Malley and Garrett Dickerson; offensive linemen Malcolm Bunche, Zac Kerin B.J. Hill Jerseys Stitched , and Victor Salako; defensive linemen Thomas, Francis, Tyrell Chavis, and Izaah Lunsford; linebackers Calvin Munson, Warren Long, and Avery Moss; defensive backs Grant Haley, Mike Jones, Orion Stewart, and Adams; and kicker Marshall Koehn.Offensive linemen Nick Becton (ankle/wrist) and free agent Nick Gates (foot) were placed on injured reserve. Defensive lineman RJ McIntosh, the team's fifth-round draft choice, was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list.Defensive lineman Josh Mauro will start the season on the reserve/suspended list. He is suspended for the first four games for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy.Writing on his Instagram account Saturday, Herzlich said goodbye to New York after seven seasons and signed off with #onceagiantalwaysagiant.The move leaves quarterback Eli Manning and long snapper Zak DeOssie as the remaining players from Super Bowl-winning team after the 2011 season, Herzlich's rookie season.The Boston College product beat the odds to make the NFL as an undrafted free agent. He missed the entire 2009 college season after being diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. He returned in 2010 and made the Giants the following season."Excellence is the result of CARING more than others think is wise; RISKING more than others think is safe. DREAMING more than others think is practical and EXPECTING more than others think is possible," Herzlich wrote in saying goodbye.Herzlich played in 88 regular-season games with the Giants, making 17 starts and excelling on special teams. He was on injured reserve last season with a stinger.Five of the team's six draft choices (Saquon Barkley White Eli Manning Jerseys , Will Hernandez, Lorenzo Carter, B.J. Hill, and Lauletta) made the team. Four undrafted rookies and first-year players made roster: center Evan Brown, safety Sean Chandler, linebacker Tae Davis, and running back Robert Martin) along with second-year defensive tackle Josh Banks.Thompson started all 16 games at safety last season. The third-round pick has battled injuries in his first two seasons and missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury.Adams had 17 starts in his two seasons in New York, playing in 30 games. He never seemed to fit in the new 3-4 defensive scheme.With the receiving corps decimated by injuries last season, Lewis started eight games last season, catching 36 passes for 416 yards and two touchdowns.Moss was a fifth-round draft pick in 2017. He played in 11 games and had two starts but was bothered by injuries in camp. The New York Giants won a football game Sunday. That’s the bottom line. It’s what the box score and the standings will say, and what history will reflect. They defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 32-31.Really, though, they won something far more important than that.They won the right to hope. Things have been mostly bad for the Giants for too long now. Far too long. Something had to change to begin to remove the stench, to give the fans, the players and the entire organization some sense that things were going to get better.Sunday Eli Manning Jerseys 2019 , they got it.Daniel Jones is, of course, the biggest part of the story.The Giants were vilified, laughed at, scorned, ridiculed — however you want to put it — for selecting a kid from Duke some thought should have been a third-round pick sixth overall. Especially after GM Dave Gettleman said it was during the Senior Bowl game — the exhibition game no one cares about — that he fell in “full bloom love” with Jones.After Sunday, Giants fans everywhere are in full bloom love with their new quarterback.Pat Shurmur insisted during the week that he wasn’t giving up on 2019 by replacing Eli Manning with Jones. He said that his gut simply told him it was time for the change.For one exhilarating week, Jones proved him right. With his arms, his legs and his toughness he energized a team that has really been needing a spark for years now.Jones provided hope that the Giants do indeed have a worthy replacement for Manning and a franchise quarterback who will be able to lead them to future glory. And maybe even to enough victories in the short term to make the Giants relevant for the remainder of the season.“He played confident all day, especially in the biggest moment,” said tight end Evan Engram. “We kept getting set up for opportunities to go down and take the lead. We got that last opportunity. He was just calm, cool, collected and drove us right down the field.”If the Giants are going to get back to being a playoff-caliber team, one that can contend for titles, Jones is going to have to take them there. Sunday was a glimpse that perhaps he can.Look deeper, though. No quarterback can do everything by himself. While Jones did a lot on Sunday and will end up as pretty much the only story anyone cares to talk about White Odell Beckham Jerseys , there were many other signs of hope for the Giants on Sunday.Tight end Evan Engram had an incredible game with a 75-yard catch-and-run touchdown and six catches overall for 113 yards. Without Odell Beckham Jr., Engram is becoming a star.There were also lots of hopeful signs from many of Gettleman’s draft choices.After two rough weeks, DeAndre Baker was aggressive and competitive. He committed a penalty and gave up a couple of catches, but this game was a huge step forward.Speaking of huge, 17th overall pick Dexter Lawrence had his first truly impactful performance. He blocked an extra point (hmm, that single point was the Giants’ margin of victory), got his first career sack and had two quarterback hits.Rookie linebacker Ryan Connelly had an interception, seven tackles and the defense played well with him calling the signals after Alec Ogletree was injured.Oshane Ximines had a sack and a quarterback hit.Darius Slayton debuted with three catches for 82 yards, including a 46-yarder. The Giants hoped Slayton could be a big-play receiver when they drafted him in the fifth round, and Sunday he was.Giants fans needed something to be hopeful about. Now they have it. Jones is a big part of the reason, but absolutely not the only reason.
