Giants | Rhett Bomar, 13 others waived Sat Sep 4, 06:23 PM
The New York Giants have waived QB Rhett Bomar, DT Jay Alford, RB Andre Brown, RB Gartrell Johnson, WR Tim X. Brown, OL Herb Taylor, OL Todd Londolt, DL Alex Hall, DL Nate Collins, DB Seth Williams, DB Courtney Brown, DB Matt O'Hanlon and DB Sha'reff Rashad, reports Michael Eisen, of Giants.com. The team terminated the contracts of OL Guy Whimper and S John Busing.
| Footballguys view: With the addition of Sage Rosenfels the Giants didn't need the services of Bomar anymore. They could add him to the practice squad to continue his development. Andre Brown getting cut is a bit of a surprise to us. With so many RBs going down with injury across the league it wouldn't surprise us to see another team quickly scoop up Brown. |

Giants | Tuck predicts breakout for Alford Tue Jun 30, 11:50 AM
Mike Garafolo, of the Newark Star-Ledger, reports that Giants DE Justin Tuck predicts a breakout year for DL Jay Alford because he will be in the nickel package with Mathias Kiwanuka, Osi Umenyiora, and Tuck, and offensive lines will have to single-block Alford.
| Footballguys view: New acquisitions Rocky Bernard and Chris Canty could have breakout seasons for the same reason. If any one of the players seize the passing down role full-time, they will be worth starting in DT-required leagues. |
