The New York Giants have begun clearing out some salary cap and roster space, releasing right guard Geoff Schwartz, and linebacker Jon Beason. While Beason announced his retirement, the 29-year old Geoff Schwartz will likely land somewhere else in free agency.
Schwartz originally joined the Giants in 2014 on a 4-year deal worth $16.8 million. The Giants will save $2.99 million in cap space with this release. Schwartz deal with two notable injuries in his two years with the Giants. He broke his toe in 2014 and missed 11 weeks, and then broke his leg in 2015 and missed the final five weeks.
