Giants’ roster-slashing reaches Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie

At the bye week last season, a proposal from the coaching realm was put to the Giants’ front office: The team is sagging and needs change. How about cutting Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Brad Wing and Bobby Hart? It would have sent a message to the team: Poor performance or bad attitude means you are not safe.

No, we will not do that, was the reply.

Five months later, all three are gone. The most recent to go is Rodgers-Cromartie, the veteran cornerback, who will not return to complete his fifth and final year of his contract. The Giants asked him to take a significant cut in pay from the $6.
