New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo promised surprises earlier this week when asked about potential roster moves to reach the 53-man regular season limit. Right at Saturday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline the Giants announced their most surprising move, waiving running back Andre Williams, a fourth-round pick in 2014.
“Andre is a guy that played some good football for us,” McAdoo said in a statement from the team. “We’re going to miss him. It was another one of those really tough (roster) decisions to make. We feel that with Rashad, Shane, Orleans, Paul Perkins and Bobby Rainey, we have some versatility there to play all three downs, and on special teams as well.
