The New York Giants have made one of the more stunning moves in the “preseason cut” timeframe of this year. One day after announcing four quarterbacks to be on the final 53-man roster, backup Davis Webb has been waived according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.
A stunning move to say the least. The Giants drafted Webb in the third round of the 2017 draft out of Cal. The optimism over his improvement became one of the reasons the Giants didn’t draft a quarterback in the first round. He was to be known by many, and was expected, to be the “quarterback of the future” when Eli Manning said goodbye to the game.
