Devin Taylor‘s tenure with the Giants ended relatively quickly. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter (via Twitter), the team has released the veteran defensive end.
Taylor originally joined the Giants back in May. Previously, the 2013 fourth-round pick had spent his entire four-year career in Detroit, where he served mostly in a reserve role. Taylor earned a bit more responsibility in 2016, starting a career-high 16 games while compiling 21 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and one forced fumble. The 27-year-old has 15 career sacks in four seasons.
With Taylor out of the picture, it appears that the Giants will roll with a younger reserve at defensive end. Among the candidates for a backup role are Romeo Okwara, Avery Moss, Kerry Wynn, Ishaq Williams, and Bobby Richardson. Olivier Vernon and Jason Pierre-Paul are slotted in as the team’s starters at defensive end.
Bisnowaty, Randolph and Taylor should be keep on ps unless someone picks them up
