Report: Giants expected to move on from Eli Penny, Cullen Gillaspia

The New York Giants are not expected to retain fullbacks Eli Penny or Cullen Gillaspia as they seek a more traditional H-back.

With the New York Giants going through a severe cost cutting period as the NFL new fiscal year comes to end next Wednesday, players who would probably be brought back under normal situations are likely to be released or be allowed to enter free agency this year.

The Giants are still close to $8 million over the $208.2 million salary cap and the goal is create $40 million in available cap space as per new general manager Joe Schoen.

Two players the Giants are almost sure to let hit free agency are fullbacks Eli Penny and Cullen Gillaspia, reports Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post.

You can expect the Giants to replace Penny and Gillaspia with an H-back or a versatile tight end who can play multiple roles in the offense. The Giants will likely keep Kaden Smith as one of their tight ends and possibly Chris Myarick, who has the look of an H-back type.
