The New York Giants began cost cutting with free agency on the horizon by releasing punter Brad Wing on Saturday.
Wing is coming off a rough 2017 season. He averaged 44.1 yards per punt, 24th among all punters. His 36.7 net average was dead last among all qualifiers.
The move frees up $1.025 million against the salary cap for the Giants, who were approximately $14 million under the cap entering Saturday.
Wing, 27, had a strong season for the Giants two years ago when he averaged 42.6 yards per punt. He struggled badly this past season though, and a shank late in a crushing Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles proved especially costly.
