The New York Giants continued to slice payroll by parting ways with two more veterans in running back Ahmad Bradshaw and defensive tackle Chris Canty on Wednesday. The Giants were estimated to be 4.7 million over the cap.
After releasing linebacker Michael Boley the day before, the Giants cut their starting running back and starting defensive tackle as they try to create more cap space while also moving in a different direction after a 9-7 season that finished with no playoffs for the 2011 Super Bowl champions.
Bradshaw was due to make $3.75 million in base salary this season and had two seasons remaining on his contract. Canty was going to make $6.25 million this coming season in base salary and also had two years left on his deal. On Tuesday, the Giants waived Boley, who was due $4.25 million in base salary.
