The New York Giants continued their roster purge after missing the playoffs, cutting halfback Ahmad Bradshaw and Canty. The Giants announced the moves on Wednesday. The release of the two starters came one day after New York let starting weakside linebacker Michael Boley go after four seasons.|||||||
