Surprised. I heard that he could get cut but not this early. Overall he has been good. I remember last year before his hamstring injury he was our best LB and was playing at a pro bowl level.Other than that stretch he has been solid our best LB although thats not saying much.

I'm not surprised by this at all. He was set to make something like 5.9 this year and the Giants save 4.25 by cutting him.

It was almost inevitable especially with the way he was being held back towards the end of this year. He was definitely one of the guys I didn't expect back.

Interesting, he always seemed to be making big plays when I saw him.

He made one big play an then was abused on the next 20. Saves us a bundle, no brainer

Was bad last year and making 4.5 million. Last year of his contract and we're over the cap.

It's weird cause I was actually just reading this article today about Boley which explains pretty much the whole situation.

Not surprising. The Giants drastically slashed his playing time the final quarter of the season. The coaching staff didn't like something.

The LB corp needs change. Hopefully the Giants are proactive about it this offseason, finally.

Is Boley decent in coverage? If so, if I were the Vikings id take a chance on him at WLB. Erin Henderson is a free agent and I have no interest in bringing him back.

NY ran a 4-3, correct? Was he the MLB?
