The Giants announced on Thursday that the team is releasing linebacker Swayze Bozeman, defensive linemen Elijah Chatman and Marlon Tuipuloti and wideout Courtney Jackson. The moves come just one day before the Giants will begin rookie minicamp on Friday . It will run through May 10.
These moves come on the heels of two other recent ones, when the team signed D. J. Reader in free agency and claimed fellow defensive lineman Zacch Pickens off waivers.
The Giants have yet to officially announce their undrafted free-agent signings, but that should be coming down before rookie minicamp begins. The team releasing these four players is likely a step to make room. Not to mention, the additions of Reader and Pickens, who join Leki Fotu and Shelby Harris as the Giants' newest additions upfront, made Chatman and Tuipuloti expendable.
