Three highly-paid Giants veterans whose contributions in 2015 were severely limited by injuries will not have a chance at redemption with the team in 2016.
The Giants released offensive linemen Will Beatty and Geoff Schwartz on Wednesday, and linebacker Jon Beason announced his retirement.
Beason was contemplating retirement and mulling knee surgery before the Giants informed him on Wednesday that they planned to release him, spurring his announcement.
The moves will save the Giants over $12 million in salary cap space in 2016, though the three still will account for $8.3 million in dead cap space.
