Giants release Owa Odighizuwa

The New York Giants have announced that they’ve released defensive end Owa Odighizuwa after he was suspended by the NFL on Monday for violating their performance enhancing drug policy.

“It is unfortunate that things have gone in this direction,” said general manager Jerry Reese, via Giants.com, “but we wish nothing but the best for Owa as we all move forward.”

This isn’t a surprise at all since Odighizuwa wasn’t expected to make the Giants’ final 53-man roster anyway after an unimpressive summer.

It’s a shame that after being taken in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft that Odighizuwa is nothing more than a bust for the Giants.
