Giants Waive Robert Malone, Others
The Giants made a score of moves at the 3pm CT deadline for 75-man rosters. The Giants’ cuts include Brandon Mosley, Eric Herman, Robert Malone, and Jordan Stanton, as Jordan Raanan of the Star-Ledger tweets. The Giants also released running back Akeem Hunt, offensive lineman Michael Bamiro, wide receiver Juron Criner, fullback Justin Halley, offensive lineman Derrick Johnson, defensive tackle Jummy Staten, and tight end Will Tye, as James Kratch of NJ Advance Media tweets.
Bennett Jackson and Josh Gordy have also been placed on season-ending IR, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post tweets.
The release of Malone means that Steve Weatherford has won the battle for the punter job. Safety Nat Berhe is noticeably absent from the IR list and that means his status for 2015 is still up in the air.
Giants Sign Six UDFAs
The Giants announced the signing of six undrafted free agents this evening. The newest prospective members of Big Blue are listed below, along with contract information from Jordan Raanan of NJ.com:
- Justin Currie, S, Western Michigan ($5K signing bonus)
- Sean Donnelly, OT, Tulane ($15K bonus, plus $15K guaranteed salary)
- Cole Farrand, LB, Maryland ($5K bonus)
- Brad Harrah, DE, Cincinnati ($5K bonus)
- Akeem Hunt, RB, Purdue ($12.5K bonus, plus $7.5K guaranteed salary)
- Matt LaCosse, TE, Illinois ($5K bonus, plus $5K guaranteed salary)
As senior in 2014, Currie started in 13 games and led the Broncos in both total (105) and solo (69) tackles. Harrah’s uncle, Toby Harrah, played for the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers and is in the Rangers Hall of Fame.
In related moves, the Giants bid farewell to Kevin Ogletree and Terrell Manning earlier today.
