Levine Toilolo is a replaceable player the Giants should move on from.

Levine Toilolo did not play the expected role many thought he would in 2020.

The Giants signed Toilolo to a 2-year, $6.2 million deal in the 2020 offseason. The move made it seem like the offense was serious about being a smashmouth, power run football team this year. Add in Jason Garrett coming over from Dallas and his offenses often had strong identities with 13 and 12 personnel.

The move raised some eyebrows at first as the Giants seemingly already were set with two tight ends in Evan Engram and Kaden Smith. The contract itself seemed unnecessarily high and it makes you wonder if the Giants were actually bidding against themselves for an aging, veteran tight end.

Toilolo enters 2021 with a $2.95 million cap hit. All the guaranteed money in his deal was only in his first season. The Giants should cut Toilolo, add a younger piece to the tight end position, and get the $2.95 million back to spend on other more important positions than a third-string tight end.
