EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Super Bowl winner, cancer survivor and NFLPA treasurer Mark Herzlich is among the players who have been released by the New York Giants in getting down to the league’s 53-man roster limit.
Writing on his Instagram account Saturday, the linebacker said goodbye to New York after seven seasons and signed off with #onceagiantalwaysagiant.
The move was made on Herzlich’s 31st birthday. It 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.
