The New York Giants are releasing QB Davis Webb, per a report from ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.
The Giants have to trim their roster down from 80 players to their initial 53-man roster by 4pm Tuesday. That means there were bound to be some surprising cuts — there are every year — but the decision to release Webb is definitely a shocker.
Webb was, reportedly, set to retire from football and pursue a career in coaching following the 2021 season. However, Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen convinced him to stay in the NFL and follow them back to the New York Giants.
