Giants release TE Kyle Rudolph

In a widely anticipated move, the New York Giants have released veteran tight end Kyle Rudolph.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen told reporters on Tuesday at the NFL Combine that salary cap cuts would begin soon. And as it turns out, he wasn’t kidding.

Veteran tight end Kyle Rudolph revealed on Wednesday that his time with the Giants is over, thanking the organization and its owners on Twitter.

The release of Rudolph was widely expected given Schoen’s desire to clear upwards of $40 million in salary cap space this offseason.
