Giants could save $2.7M by releasing veteran corner

The New York Giants are faced with a potential competition for the slot cornerback position. After drafting Deonte Banks with their 24th overall pick from Maryland, former third-round pick Aaron Robinson is likely to revert to a slot role, and Cor’Dale Flott, a third-round pick from 2022, is also poised to vie for the starting position.

The ideal scenario would have Darnay Holmes, Robinson, and Flott duking it out in the slot. However, the Giants might opt to part ways with Holmes, a former fourth-round pick from UCLA in 2020.

The Giants can save substantial capital by cutting Darnay Holmes:

Approaching the age of 25, Holmes boasts three years of NFL experience, having played a career-high 637 total snaps last season.
