As had been anticipated, the New York Giants are releasing wide receiver Kenny Golladay effective March 15. That will end a failed two-year tenure in New York where Golladay caught just 43 passes — only six for 81 yards in 2022 — and scored just one touchdown after signing a four-year, $72 million free agent contract.
It was initally thought that Golladay would not carry a post-June 1 designation. That would save the $6.7 million against the 2023 salary cap while carrying $14.7 million in dead money. The Giants have since clarified that whether Golladay is a pre- or post-June 1 cut has not been decided.
