New York Giants waive linebacker Darius Muasau during final roster cuts
Summary

The New York Giants waived linebacker Darius Muasau on Sunday as the team began its final roster reductions. A 2024 sixth-round draft pick, Muasau spent two seasons with the organization and appeared in 27 games. During that span, he logged 18 starts and recorded 1,231 snaps across both defensive and special teams assignments. The decision to release the former UCLA standout reflects the team's increased depth at the linebacker position. Muasau is now subject to the NFL waiver process, which determines if another team will claim him or if he will become a free agent. The Giants may also consider signing him to their practice squad if he clears waivers.
