Giants making costly moves early in the 2016 season

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It has been a costly first week of the season for the New York Giants. With the release of kicker Randy Bullock on Tuesday and starting middle linebacker Jasper Brinkley last week, they received four kickoffs and a missed extra point for what could amount to close to $2.5 million.

Bullock was cut one day after Josh Brown was reinstated to the active roster from his one-game suspension. Bullock signed a one-year, $675,000 deal earlier this summer.

As a vested veteran, he’s eligible for termination pay, and the full $675K salary he was due.
