The New York Giants have released cornerback Nick McCloud.

McCloud was claimed off waivers from the Buffalo Bills in August of 2022 and had played in 38 games (starting 16) for Big Blue.

This season, McCloud has started five games due to the Giants going through a spate of injuries in the secondary.

As intimated above, McCloud refused a pay cut and the Giants are operating with approximately $3.7 million in available cap space and may seeking some roster additions.

The move will reportedly free up $900K in cap space.

The move leaves the Giants with five corners: Deonte Banks, Dru Phillips, Cor'Dale Flott, Adoree' Jackson, and Tre Hawkins III.

They also have Greg Stroman and Art Green on the practice squad.
