The Giants have released 28-year old OT Shawn Andrews after he wouldn’t restructure his contact.  Andrews played in 13 games (7 starts) in his only year with the Giants in 201o.  Andrews has played in 63 games (57 starts) in his first 7 years in the NFL.  The Giants will really need to sign some free agents to help fill out the offensive line, as Andrews is the third member of last year’s starting O-Line to be released today.

The New York Giants have released 32-year old guard Richard Seubert and 34-year old center Shaun O’Hara.  Seubert played in 16 games (all starts) for the Giants last year.  He played in 104 games (88 starts) in his 10 years with the Giants.  Shaun O’Hara only played in six games (all starts) last year due to injury.  O’Hara played in 97 games (all starts) in his seven years with the Giants.  The Giants are going to miss these two guys as they were tough on the interior of the O-Line.  The Giants will have to spend some cash on replacements for Seubert and O’Hara in free agency.

The Giants have released 26-year old WR Sinorice Moss with a injury settlement.  Moss did not play in any games for the Giants this year.  In 5 years with the team, Moss played in 37 games in which he caught 39 passes for 421 yards (10.8 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  He also returned 11 punts for 74 yards (6.7 avg) and 24 kickoffs for 465 yards (19.4 avg) for the Giants.  Moss was a 2nd round pick of the Giants in 2006 and he was a big bust.

The Giants have signed 26-year old S/KR/PR Will Blackmon.  Blackmon played in 3 games for the Packers last season and he returned 3 punts for 11 yards (3.7 avg), 10 kickoffs for 233 yards (23.3 avg) and he had 1 tackle.  Blackmon has now played in 28 games in his first three years in the NFL and he has 41 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 2 forced fumbles.  Blackmon has also returned 47 punts for 515 yards (11.0 avg) with 3 TD returns and he has also returned 66 kickoffs for 1,393 yards (21.1 avg) so far in his NFL career.  Blackmon was signed to compete against or replace PR/KR Darius Reynaud on punt and kickoff returns.  Reynaud has played in all six games for the Giants so far this year and he has returned 21 kickoffs for 386 yards (18.4 avg) and 22 punts for 130 yards (5.9 avg) and that’s just not good enough.

The New York Giants have released 26-year old linebacker Bryan Kehl.  Kehl played in the season opener for the Giants and he had 3 tackles.  He played in 31 games in three years with the Giants in which he had 60 tackles, 1 pass defensed, 1 sack and 1 interception.  The Giants must not have liked Kehl’s effort on Sunday.

44-year old punter Jeff Feagles has retired from the NFL.  Feagles played in all 16 games for the Giants last season and he punted the ball 64 times for 2,604 yards (40.7 avg).  Feagles only had 2 touchbacks (3.1%) and he had 23 punts downed inside the opposing 20-yard line (35.9%) last season.  Feagles ends his career having played in 352 games in which he punted the ball 1,713 times for 71,211 yards (41.6 avg).  He had 114 touchbacks (6.7%) and downed punts inside the opposing 20-yard line 497 times (29%) in his career.  The Giants drafted punter Matt Dodge in the 7th round of the NFL Draft out of East Carolina and he will replace Feagles as the starting punter in 2010.

The Giants have released 26-year old safety Aaron Rouse.  Rouse played in 14 games for the Giants last season in which he made 52 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, he defensed 4 passes and he had 1 sack.  The Giants shouldn’t miss Rouse too much as they have signed Antrel Rolle to take over at safety.
