The Giants waived two players yesterday – effectively bringing their total roster count to 78 out of a possible 80. LB Kenny Ingram and DE Ayanga Okpokowuruk were both cut to make room for rookie standouts DT Linval Joseph and DE Jason Pierre-Paul. And just like clockwork, ESPN’s Adam Shefter tweeted moments ago:
"New York must be getting ready for camp: Giants reached agreement with second-round pick Linval Joseph on a four-year deal."
It is believed first round pick DE Jason Pierre-Paul will be signed before camp tomorrow as well.
In related new, the injured rookie safety Chad Jones who was sidelined in a serious car accident weeks ago cleared waivers to remain a Giant on the non-football injury list for 2010. Mike Garafolo tweeted late last night:
"For those still awake, S Chad Jones cleared waivers, as expected. He’s headed for the non-football injury list + is still #NYG property."
