Canty struggled with injuries last season but he is a good intrior pass-rusher when healthy.

Giants are cleaning house!

Giants also release Chris Canty. He was due $6.25M in salary and a $250K workout bonus in 2013. |

There goes another.
Corey Webster and David Diehl are next if they don't take pay cuts. _________________

| He as a good player when healthy but just couldn't stay on the field. I wouldn't mind the Bengals taking a look at him to play DE for us... |

Chris Canty was not offered a pay cut before he was cut. |

Bad news comes in threes, right? I've heard there is likely one more cut coming. Not official yet, though. #NYG |
that sucks... _________________

Seems weird he wasn't offered a pay cut.
I was under the impression Canty was pretty solid for you guys when he played? Unless there is something going on here the Giants know of that we don't, I wouldn't mind the Dolphins taking a look at Canty... seems like he could be good depth, if nothing else. _________________ With much cheese,

He was above average when he was healthy but that wasn't often enough to justify the money.
Seems like a good teammate and person so I can't see that being a reason for the cut.
Just the play didn't justify the money. _________________

| He should be picked up quickly. I think he could be a solid rotational guy especially for a DT needy team like maybe..Carolina? |
