The New York Giants made more than three dozen transactions over a 48-hour period in order to trim their roster down to the league-mandated 53. And while many additional transactions are certain to come over the next 48 hours, their initial 53-man roster has now been set.
Some of the transactions came as a surprise but overall, the final 53-man roster was largely as predicted.
Here's a look at where the Giants currently stand before the waiver claims begin.
