The New York Giants announced Tuesday that they have waived defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa.
The move shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Even before the NFL Monday announced Odighizuwa's four-game suspension for violating the league's performance enhancing drug policy it seemed like a long-shot that he would make the final 53-man roster.
“It is unfortunate that things have gone in this direction,” said general manager Jerry Reese. “But we wish nothing but the best for Owa as we all move forward.”
The former third-round pick has never lived up to his draft position or his athletic potential since being taken in the 2015 draft.
