The Houston Texans are waiving linebacker Zach Cunningham, who led the NFL in solo tackles (106) and combined tackles (164) a season ago. Should the New York Giants make a claim on the 27-year-old Cunningham.
Doing so would make sense for a number of reasons.
The Giants are without inside linebacker and defense captain Blake Martinez for the remainder of the season. The Giants, cap-strapped in 2022, face an offseason decision on Martinez. He carries a $14.025 million cap hit next season, and the Giants could save $$8.525 million in cap space by cutting him.
