The New York Giants' young core of stars has done two things for general manager Joe Schoen. First, it's given fans a reason to buy into the future that he's building. Second, and perhaps more importantly for him, it has covered up some of the mistakes of his past.
Big Blue still has a few veterans on the roster serving as reminders of past whiffs, though. And with a maxed-out training camp roster, the Giants would have to make some tough decisions if they want to bring anyone else in.
These three Giants veterans could already be out the door by the time training camp starts.
3 Giants veterans who could be released before training camp
DL Chauncey Golston
Dallas Cowboys fans are still laughing about this one. After Golston set a career-high mark in sacks for the Cowboys in 2024, Schoen and the Giants took the bait, signing him to an expensive three-year contract.
The 28-year-old produced just one sack in 2025 and is already on the outs in New York. The scarcity on the defensive line could be his saving grace, but Golston's fit on this front is unclear. While the dead cap hit brought on by releasing him would be difficult to stomach, the Giants may be ready to move on after just one season.
OT Joshua Ezeudu
A former third-round draft pick, Exeudu has never been able to hold down a role in the Giants' offense. He put up two discouraging years before showing signs of improvement in 2024. Unfortunately, an ankle injury set him back before the 2025 season, and he never returned to the active roster.
Now, the 26-year-old is competing with rookie J.C. Davis for the Giants' backup left tackle spot. If the position battle has already been won by the rookie, Ezeudu might not make it to training camp.
CB Art Green
While the other two players on this list represent unfortunate misses through the draft or free agency, Green has largely been a success for the Giants. He plays almost exclusively on special teams, logging over 200 snaps last season.
Unfortunately for the former UDFA, there might just not be enough room on the roster to keep him around for another season. A few of New York's additions this offseason could take over his role on special teams, and he doesn't provide enough on defense to become part of the cornerback rotation.
