New York Giants: Why keeping Alex Tanney on the roster make zero sense

The New York Giants cut the roster down to 53-men on Saturday afternoon, and some of the decisions made were confusing, as they usually are. Releasing WR T.J. Jones after a stellar preseason performance was one head-shaking move, but the third quarterback spot was where most questioned the outcome.

General manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Pat Shurmur elected to drop second-year passer Kyle Lauletta, who showed flashes of quality behind Eli Manning and Daniel Jones this preseason, in favor of Alex Tanney, an NFL journeyman.

Why this move by the New York Giants makes little sense:

You could make the argument that the Giants don’t even need three quarterbacks, let alone two veterans and a rookie.
