The Giants started their cuts early this morning by cutting a handful of big wide receivers and went from there. French wide receiver Anthony Dable and Cal product Darius Powe are among those who have been shown the door.
Dable played professionally in Grenoble, France and also spent the last two seasons in Germany. With his German Football League team, Dable caught 145 passes for just under 2,500 yards and 32 touchdowns over the last two campaigns. Although he did not grow up in a football-heavy atmosphere, he learned the game by watching others from afar.
“I learned football by watching videos of the receivers I like on YouTube, and I like guys that are the same size as me, like Brandon Marshall,” Dable said. “I think I play like Brandon Marshall. I like how he moves after the catch, with his size.”
Powe, a 6’3″ receiver, saved his best season for last at Cal. As a senior, Powe hauled in 47 catches for 560 yards and 8 touchdowns.
We’ll keep a running list of the Giants’ moves here. All of these moves have been confirmed via team press release.

I think there has been a mistake…. Someone forgot to add Andre Williams to this list!
Still a couple more to go, you never know
Poor Andre he had flashes but bust status it is .
I hate Andre Williams.I hope Darkwa doesn’t get cut.Something tells me he’ll have a breakout season in the NFL if he doesn’t get cut
Yea I agree but they need a guy for like 3rd and 1
He can’t block is the book on darkwa
MARK HERZLICH?????….he must have be blackmailing someone high up because he’s the most useless lb in football history!!!!!!
Not really he had a really solid game against the Patriots and does a lot on special teams for them
Amazing they cut a number of linemen…… Now we need to add some real talent……
Giants should sign ILB Arthur Brown. Ravens cut him today. He would be a better fit in the 4-3. They should also look for some offensive line help that got cut today.
