Giants Release Josh Freeman

I guess, because of Eli Manning's rapid recovery, the Giants today cut QB Josh Freeman.   This would sort of give a strong leg up to Ryan Nassib in the backup QB race.   I guess this also gives Freeman more time to hook on with another team, and they saw no merit in using the 5 pre-season games to inflate his value, then trade him before the season.   Surprising development as Nassib has, by all reports, looked shaky in the on field portions of the OTA's.   Those have been screen game heavy, and the short passes were supposed to be his bugaboo in his draft year.   He throws them too hard.
