EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants have released veteran safety Logan Ryan, the team announced Thursday.
The move saves the Giants a little less than $800,000 against the salary cap. It's believed the release of the former team captain has more to do with the Giants being in the midst of a defensive reset than as a cap casualty.
The Giants have a new regime led by general manager Joe Schoen. Coach Brian Daboll hired former Baltimore Ravens coordinator Wink Martindale to run the defense.
Ryan bid farewell to New York on social media Thursday.
