A good gauge of the depth of a team’s roster is seeing how many other teams covet your players. That’s what happened to the New York Giants<\/a> this week after they cut ties with four players to make room for their incoming rookies.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, after the team inked several members of their 2026 draft class, they cut defensive lineman Elijah Chatman<\/a>, linebacker Swayze Bozeman<\/a>, wide receiver Courtney Jackson, and defensive lineman Marlon Tuipulotu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Friday, three of those players had already caught on with other teams, a true indication that the Giants’ roster building the past few years has been heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Bozeman, Chatman, and Jackson, who were all waived, landed jobs, leaving Tuipulotu, who had his contract terminated, the lone free agent.<\/p>\n

The Giants have been adding quality players up and down the roster this offseason, and there simply is not enough room for everyone. Chatman and Tuipulotu are victims of a numbers game. The Giants have been stockpiling defensive linemen in the wake of the Dexter Lawrence<\/a> trade.<\/p>\n

Chatman, who made the Giants’ final roster in 2024 as a UDFA, appeared in 22 games over his two seasons in Blue. He is a bit undersized for these new Giants<\/a> (278 pounds), who are favoring stout interior linemen.<\/p>\n

Tuipulotu was signed to a reserve\/futures deal this past winter. A former draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, he spent the past two seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, playing in five games. He is expected to draw interest in the market this summer.<\/p>\n

Jackson, signed to a reserve\/futures contract in February, was one of 12 wideouts on the roster, and his chances of making the 53-man roster were remote.<\/p>\n

Bozeman played six games for the Giants last season and was primarily used on special teams. The Giants had 14 linebackers under contract, and there was little opportunity for Bozeman.<\/p>\n
