The Giants' secondary promised to be the No. 1 story of cut day.
Even with the departure of a longtime fan favorite (Mark Herzlich) at linebacker, it was.
The Giants released safeties Andrew Adams and Darian Thompson and cornerbacks Chris Lewis-Harris, Leonard Johnson and Grant Haley, according to multiple sources and reports. The sum effect is a major shake-up to the unit that is the biggest question mark on the defense.
Those developments mean that other bubble players such as cornerback Donte Deayon, veteran free safety/cornerback William Gay and undrafted rookie safety Sean Chandler all could slide in behind the starting quartet of Eli Apple, Janoris Jenkins, Landon Collins and Curtis Riley.
