ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday night that the New York Giants are releasing wide receiver Golden Tate after two years with the organization.
Releasing Tate will save New York $6 million cap space in a year where the salary cap isn’t expect to go up much at all. This move doesn’t come as a surprise with the Giants having to free up cap space and the fact that his role within Big Blue’s offense shrunk in 2020. He only caught 35 receptions for 388 yards and two touchdowns this past season.
This is also a sign that the Giants will of course either look for a number one wide receiver in free agency or within the first three rounds of this year’s NFL Draft.
