Summary

The New York Giants trimmed their roster to the league-mandated 53-player limit on August 30, 2026. Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, a 2023 third-round draft pick, was among those waived after catching 36 passes during his three seasons with the team. The front office also parted ways with a broad group of players, including quarterbacks Brandon Allen and Jake Haener, along with various defensive linemen and linebackers. Other notable releases included wide receivers Braxton Berrios, Xavier Gipson, and Isaiah Hodgins, as well as offensive lineman Evan Neal.
