As our Giants Offseason Outlook covered<\/a>, the team will be making some cost-cutting moves. Three \u201cobvious\u201d cuts are coming, per The Athletic\u2019s Dan Duggan<\/a>, who tabs Devin Singletary<\/a>, Graham Gano<\/a> and James Hudson<\/a> as soon-to-be released veterans. The Giants can save $5.25MM by releasing Singletary, $4.5MM by cutting Gano and $5.38MM by axing Hudson. Signed on the same day Saquon Barkley<\/a> defected to the Eagles, Singletary was unable to remain New York\u2019s starter for long. He lost his job to Tyrone Tracy<\/a> in 2024 and saw Cam Skattebo<\/a> leapfrog him last year. Tracy\u2019s rookie deal runs through 2027, while Skattebo is signed through 2028. Gano has missed a staggering 28 games since signing a three-year, $16.5MM extension in 2023. The Giants benched Hudson, their hopeful swing tackle, after a penalty-filled Week 2.<\/p>\n

While Jon Runyan Jr.<\/a> was listed as a likely Giants cut months ago<\/a>, Duggan places Bobby Okereke<\/a> on the borderline. The team can save $9.25MM by releasing Runyan, while Okereke can bring back $9MM. Okereke, 29, is due a $3MM roster bonus on March 13. With the Giants projected to hold less than $7MM in cap space and making wholesale changes under John Harbaugh, significant roster changes are likely.<\/p>\n

Here is the latest from the NFC East:<\/p>\n

The Eagles gave Dallas Goedert<\/a> a pay cut in 2025<\/a>, and while the longtime starter caught a franchise tight end-record 11 touchdown passes last season, The Athletic\u2019s Zach Berman expects<\/a> the sides to part ways soon. Goedert, 31, will be a free agent next month. A glaring hole will exist at tight end if\/once the Eagles move on, but Berman anticipates the team adding a younger option. As PFR\u2019s Connor Byrne noted in his Eagles Offseason Outlook piece<\/a>, Goedert not being re-signed will tag the team with a hefty dead money bill ($20.49MM) stemming from void years. No other Philly TE surpassed 80 receiving yards in 2025.
\nGoedert\u2019s predecessor, Zach Ertz<\/a>, is also unsigned for 2026. Coming off an ACL tear<\/a>, Ertz does not want to retire just yet, ESPN.com\u2019s John Keim notes<\/a>. Ertz, 35, bounced back with the Commanders by combining for 1,158 receiving yards in his two-season tenure<\/a>. Jayden Daniels<\/a> relied on the 13-year veteran in 2024, and he posted a better yards-per-game figure (38.8) in 2025. Still, Ertz being in his mid-30s coming off an ACL tear will limit his market. It is quite possible he remains in free agency until he returns to full strength.
\nThe Commanders already took care of one free agent, re-signing punter Tress Way<\/a>. The veteran specialist\u2019s one-year contract<\/a> is worth $3.04MM; almost all of that figure is guaranteed at signing, per OverTheCap.
\nThe Giants will need to make a decision on their right tackle soon. Jermaine Eluemunor<\/a> profiles as a player the team may want to retain. He started 34 games over the past two seasons in New York and was a fifth-round Ravens draftee in 2017, playing two Baltimore seasons. Eluemunor, 31, could draw between $7-$10MM per year, according to SNY\u2019s Connor Hughes<\/a>. With Eluemunor already earning $7MM per year on his 2024 Giants deal, it should be expected the proven starter fetches more. He joins Braden Smith<\/a>, Jack Conklin<\/a> and Jonah Williams<\/a> as experienced RTs set to hit the market.
\nThe Cowboys have made three new coaching hires. They are adding Kyle Fuller as assistant O-line coach and Scott Symons as inside linebackers coach, ESPN.com\u2019s Todd Archer<\/a> and CBS Sports\u2019 Matt Zenitz and Chris Hummer report<\/a>. Fuller, who played for six teams in a seven-year O-line career, served as a Raiders quality control coach in 2025. Symons will make a cross-town move, being hired after three years as SMU\u2019s DC. The Mustangs finished as a top-35 defense nationally in each of the past three seasons, winning 31 games in that span. Dallas is also hiring Demeitre Brim as assistant D-line coach, per Zenitz<\/a>. Brim comes over after one season with the Golden Knights, previously coaching at Nebraska and Lehigh.
\nWrapping this coaching roundup, the Commanders are hiring LSU\u2019s Jake Olsen to their defensive staff, Zenitz adds<\/a>. Olsen spent the past two seasons as the Tigers\u2019 safeties coach. Olsen was at Mizzou from 2022-23 but coached under new Commanders DC Daronte Jones at LSU in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As our Giants Offseason Outlook covered, the team will be making some cost-cutting moves.
