The New York Giants will have 30 free agents to deal with come March and at least eight of them should be allowed to walk.
The New York Giants have a lot of decisions and work to do this offseason after a disappointing 6-11 season.
They have a slew of players headed for free agency and will have to make decisions on whether to bring them back next season.
Here’s a quick list of players they should let walk.
The New York Giants have placed OL Shane Lemieux on injured reserve after he suffered a torn biceps during practice on Wednesday.
The New York Giants continue to suffer injuries along their offensive line, announcing on Thursday that Shane Lemieux has been placed on injured reserve (IR) with a torn biceps.
Lemieux, who had appeared in four games with one start for the Giants this season, suffered the injury during Wednesday’s practice.
Over his four-year career, Lemieux has been limited to just 18 games (12 starts) due to injuries. He dealt with a patellar tendon issue in 2021 and then was limited to just one game last season as the result of a toe injury.
Lemieux joins J.C. Hassenauer and Joshua Ezeudu as members of the team’s offensive line currently on IR.
In addition to the group on IR, offensive linemen Andrew Thomas (hamstring), Evan Neal (ankle), Matt Peart (shoulder), John Michael Schmitz (shoulder) and Mark Glowinski (quad/ankle) all currently appear on the injury report.
In a corresponding roster move, the Giants have signed offensive lineman Sean Harlow from the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad.
Harlow, a fourth-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in the 2017 NFL draft, spent time with the Giants in August. He was released as a part of final cuts. He signed with the Cowboys a day later.

New York Giants QB Daniel Jones returned to practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday, while LT Andrew Thomas continues to sit out.
The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday and so did quarterback Daniel Jones, who is still nursing a neck injury.
Although Jones is not yet cleared for contact, he was able to do some throwing and could be in play for Sunday, although that should be considered unlikely.
“He’s doing better and he’ll be out here at practice today doing some stuff. We’ll see where we’re at,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “He’s cleared to throw so that’s what he’s going to do today.”
Asked if there’s any concern DJ misses the rest of the season, Daboll said his quarterback will “be back.”
The news wasn’t as positive for several others, including left tackle Andrew Thomas, who continues to sit out with a hamstring injury.
The Giants’ full Wednesday injury report can be found below:
Did not participate: LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Evan Neal (ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)
Limited participant: QB Daniel Jones (neck), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (ankle/shoulder), K Graham Gano (knee), OL Mark Glowinski (quad/ankle), CB Adoree’ Jackson (neck), OL Shane Lemieux (groin/biceps)
Full participant: RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), DL D.J. Davidson (knee), CB Tre Hawkins (knee)

The New York Giants will be without QB Daniel Jones and many other key starters on Sunday night in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills.
The New York Giants will take on the Buffalo Bills this Sunday night and they will do so incredibly shorthanded.
After three days on the sideline, head coach Brian Daboll officially ruled quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) out for the game. He will be joined by a multitude of others, including left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring).
Running back Saquon Barkley is also unlikely to play although the Giants say that will be a game-time decision. That’s been the case in each of the previous three weeks but Barkley has been ruled out prior to warmups each time.
Full injury reports for both the Giants and Bills can be found below:
New York Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) missed practice again on Thursday as the team’s injury report somehow grew in size.
The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Thursday but did so without starting quarterback Daniel Jones, who remains sidelined due to a neck injury.
Although head coach Brian Daboll refused to rule Jones out for a Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills, things appear to be trending in that direction.
In addition to Jones and the remaining injury report, which was already large in scale, punter Jamie Gillan was added as a non-participant. He missed Thursday’s practice with what the Giants called an “illness.”
The Giants’ full Thursday injury report can be found below:
Did not participate: QB Daniel Jones (neck), LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Matt Peart (shoulder), LB Azeez Ojulari (ankle), P Jamie Gillan (illness), RB Gary Brightwell (ankle)
Limited participant: DB Deonte Banks (ankle), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), DB Cor’Dale Flott (ankle), OL Shane Lemieux (groin), OL Marcus McKethan (knee), DL D.J. Davidson (knee), LB Micah McFadden (ankle), OL Evan Neal (ankle), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee), TE Darren Waller (groin)

The New York Giants face the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. Here are the five biggest storylines to follow for this contest.
The New York Giants (1-3) travel down to South Florida to face the Miami Dolphins (3-1) at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Sunday, October 8 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Here are five storylines we are following.
The New York Giants will be without three offensive linemen in Week 5 against the Dolphins, including LT Andrew Thomas.
The New York Giants take on the Miami Dolphins this Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida and will do so shorthanded once again.
Head coach Brian Daboll revealed prior to practice that left tackle Andrew Thomas, rookie center John Michael Schmitz and reserve guard Shane Lemieux would all remain sidelined.
That was a bad omen and the worst-case scenario proved true as all three were listed as “out” for the Week 5 game.
Meanwhile, running back Saquon Barkley remained limited in practice and will be a game-time decision for the second consecutive week. It remains unlikely that he’ll play.
Full injury reports for both the Giants and Dolphins can be found below:
New York Giants LT Andrew Thomas and rookie OL John Michael Schmitz remain sidelined in practice and appear unlikely to play in Week 5.
The New York Giants took the field for their second of three practices leading up to Saturday’s departure for Florida.
There was hope that both left tackle Andrew Thomas and rookie center John Michael Schmitz would return to the field but that did not happen. Instead, head coach Brian Daboll revealed that nothing would change from the day prior.
That likely means no Thomas, JMS or reserve Shane Lemieux for the Giants on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
It also wasn’t entirely accurate as linebacker Micah McFadden was added with an ankle injury.
Running back Saquon Barkley was once again limited but he, too, remains uncertain for the Week 5 game.
The Giants’ Thursday injury report can be found below:
Did not participate: LT Andrew Thomas (hamstring), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), OL Shane Lemieux (groin)
Limited participant: LB Azeez Ojulari (hamstring), RB Saquon Barkley (ankle), TE Daniel Bellinger (knee), OL Evan Neal (hand/ankle), OL Marcus McKethan (knee), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) and RB Gary Brightwell (ankle), LB Micah McFadden (ankle)
