3 recently released New York Giants have found new homes

•Yahoo Sports

Three of the four players released by the New York Giants this week have already joined new teams.

A good gauge of the depth of a team's roster is seeing how many other teams covet your players. That's what happened to the New York Giants this week after they cut ties with four players to make room for their incoming rookies. On Thursday, after the team inked several members of their 2026 draft class, they cut defensive lineman Elijah Chatman, linebacker Swayze Bozeman, wide receiver Courtney Jackson, and defensive lineman Marlon Tuipulotu.

On Friday, three of those players had already caught on with other teams, a true indication that the Giants' roster building the past few years has been heading in the right direction. Bozeman, Chatman, and Jackson, who were all waived, landed jobs, leaving Tuipulotu, who had his contract terminated, the lone free agent. Bengals claim LB Swayze Bozeman off waivers https://t.
