The New York Giants waived four players on Monday, just a day before the start of their offseason program. The players released were wide receiver Da'Quan Felton, defensive backs Patrick McMorris, T.J. Moore, and Myles Purchase. None of the four saw game action for the Giants last season, with Moore spending the year on injured reserve.

Why it matters

These roster moves give the Giants flexibility to add more players, including draft picks and undrafted free agents, as they look to build their team for the upcoming season. Trimming the roster ahead of the offseason program is a common practice for NFL teams.

The details

Felton, McMorris, and Purchase all spent time on the Giants' practice squad in 2025, but did not appear in any games. Moore suffered a fractured femur in the preseason and was placed on injured reserve for the entire year. With the four players waived, the Giants now have 76 players on their 90-man roster, leaving room to add up to eight more players through the draft and free agency.
