Report: Giants will not exercise option on Antoine Bethea

The New York Giants will not exercise the option on veteran safety Antoine Bethea, clearing an additional $3 million in salary cap space.

The New York Giants have made several adjustments to their roster in recent days and on Wednesday, finally made one of their most anticipated decisions of the offseason — declining the option on veteran safety Antoine Bethea.

The Athletic’s Dan Duggan reports that the Giants will not exercise the option on Bethea, thereby creating an additional $3 million in salary cap space and leaving no dead money.

Bethea will now become an unrestricted free agent.
