Giants roster moves: TE Kaden Smith waived

The New York Giants may be heading into 2022 without their top three options at tight end. New York waived Kaden Smith on Friday after he failed a physical.

Smith battled a knee injury in 2021 that eventually landed him on injured reserve.

The move gives the Giants $2.54 million in salary cap savings and does not incur any dead money, per OvertheCap. General manager Joe Schoen previously expressed a desire to clear out $40 million in cap space during the offseason.

The Giants cut Kyle Rudolph on March 2 in another cost-saving move.
