EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants got worse this week when they released cornerback James Bradberry. Their secondary now has just two proven starters -- cornerback Adoree' Jackson and safety Xavier McKinney -- and a slew of question marks.
Bradberry was the team's top cornerback, but general manager Joe Schoen needed money to sign his rookie class and operate throughout the season. The Giants had just under $7 million in salary-cap space prior to the move, according to the Roster Management System. That wouldn't have been enough to get their 11-man draft class signed.
