Davis Webb, who never appeared in a regular-season game for the Giants but loomed over just about every conversation the team and its fans had about the quarterback position for the past year and a half, is no longer part of those discussions.
The Giants waived last year’s third-round pick on Sunday along with five other players from their initial 53-man roster, making room for a wave of six players claimed on waivers. Webb was, by far, the most intriguing of the players on either side of those lists.
Webb took virtually every second-string rep throughout training camp this summer, but head coach Pat Shurmur never said he was the team’s backup.
