The Giants made their first maneuver this off-season releasing linebacker Uani Unga as reported by James Kratch of NJ Advance Media. Expect the Giants to continue to make cuts as big names may fall.

Linebacker Uani ‘Unga, who missed the entire 2016 season with an undisclosed injury, was waived Wednesday with an injury designation. ‘Unga, an undrafted free agent out of BYU, was scheduled to make $615,000 this season, the final year on his deal before restricted free agency.

Best of luck and health to Uani ‘Unga.

The Giants waived/injured linebacker Uani Unga today, as reported by ESPN’s Dan Graziano.

The Giants waived/injured Uani Unga, who opened 2015 as their starting middle linebacker but was made expendable by the acquisitions this offseason of Keenan Robinson, B.J. Goodson and others. They signed undrafted CB Matt Smalley from Lafayette.

Unga quickly became a Giants fan favorite when stepping in for an injured Jon Beason and claiming the middle linebacker position for a few games.

I must say I’m sad to see Unga go, I always root for the underdog and the ones that devote that extra effort.
