Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is still without a team, but he hopes to continue his NFL career. The former Giants cornerback also says that he has drawn interest from clubs, though we haven’t heard much about DRC since the Redskins and Saints kicked the tires on him in March. 
“I’m good, ya dig? Yeah [I’m going to] play,” DRC told ESPN.com’s Josina Anderson (on Twitter). “Teams told me to wait ’til training camp. I can sign, but I will wait. No rush.”
Last year, Rodgers-Cromartie turned in what was arguably the worst season of his career to date. He also clashed with Giants coaches, which probably isn’t helping his market. He was handed an indefinite suspension after an argument with then-head coach Ben McAdoo in 2017, though he wound up missing only one game after a quick reinstatement.
Rodgers-Cromartie earned a 77.2 overall score from Pro Football Focus last year, which was his lowest since 2012. He graded out the No. 58 cornerback in the league, which indicates he’s on the fringe of starter value.
It’s not clear which teams have reached out to DRC, but the Broncos were not interested in a reunion at the time of his release in March.
As a long time Giants fan I hope DRC gets signed somewhere. Was sad to see him go. Thought he was a scape goat and got a bad rap from Ben (clueless) McAdoo. He was suspended because he wanted to go back into a game after being injured and did so for a last second Hail Mary pass at halftime. He was told by McAdoo to go into the locker room for doing so. He did and was then told to not come back. He didn’t and didnt show up to practice cause he was told to stay away from the team. Based on that McAdon’t decided to try and show some long lost and overdue authority and suspend him. Once the misunderstanding with DRC was clarified it was to late to go back on the suspension and McAloser needed to save face, so the indefinite suspension as changed to one game. One thing DRC was was a team leader, and a great teammate (by all accounts from ex teammates) and a hard worker. Gonna miss him on the Giants.
McAdoo is a terrible coach!
Why don’t the Giants just resign him? It’s a new regime so like starting over. And they need the DB depth anyway.
