Green gone, Emmons here to saty
Mike Garafolo reports that the Giants are getting rid of Green according to a league source:
Green’s base salary next season was scheduled to be $2.475 million. Minus the $1.1 million in signing-bonus money owed him the next two years, the Giants will save $1.375 million on next season’s salary cap by cutting him.Outside linebacker Carlos Emmons will remain with the team, said the league official who knew of Green’s impending departure. Another linebacker will likely be added early in April’s draft and former 49er Julian Peterson could be an option in free agency.
The only way cutting Green makes sense to me is if the medical staff says he probably won’t play next season (or that he’ll have lost some speed). If Green has a chance to play, then saving 1.4 million in cap space is not that big a deal (better to have a WLB). The article has some other info on Ginats players: Peterson is still a biq question mark, Feagles and Alexander may or may not be retiring, and manning may go to Miami to work with Shockey and Buress.

with the nicely balanced ends the linebackers should be in a more aggressive run and pass blitz mode, the offence can not be a incomplete pass and then a hand off to Tiki, Ray Charles can see that comining
