Jonathan Casillas gives his takes on the upcoming roster cutdown day:
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Jonathan Casillas has a complete perspective of NFL cutdown day, because he has seen it from both sides.

He is now the Giants’ starting weakside linebacker and was the team’s defensive captain last season, meaning he has no worries about being one of the departing players when the Giants reduce their roster from 90 players to the league-mandated 53-man limit by 4 p.
