10 NY Giants training camp talking points for fans to focus on
• Will there be a surprise cut or two over the next couple of weeks?
3. Will there be a surprise cut for the Giants in the coming weeks?
Another thing to keep in mind here is that there may be a surprise cut made by Schoen. Last summer, people were completely shocked when news broke that the team was parting ways with Blake Marintez. Recently, it has been revealed that Martinez actually asked to be cut, opening the door for him to sign with the Raiders. He ended up retiring soon after.
Taking a look at this roster, there will be some tough decisions for Schoen and Co. as they look to trim things down to 53. One guy in particular who could have his Giants days numbered is cornerback Darnay Holmes. For a while now, Holmes has been mentioned as a guy who the Giants could let go in order to create some cap space.
If the Giants were to release Holmes, it would provide Schoen with an extra $2.7 million to work with. Might this help the G-Men go after a veteran inside linebacker for Martindale? That's up in the air. If Holmes struggles during camp, then the calls will only get louder from the fanbase for him to get cut.
