Giants Cut James Hudson After Rough Season

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 6th. The New York Giants have cut offensive tackle James Hudson after just one rough season with the team. He signed a two-year, $12 million deal last year to serve as their swing tackle. The release saves them $5,305,000 against the salary cap, though it leaves a dead money hit of $2,000,000, $105,000. Hudson came over from the Cleveland Browns after four seasons there. The Giants wanted him mainly to back up Andrew Thomas, who was coming back from Lychronk foot surgery. Things went south-fast for the 26-year-old in week two against the Dallas Cowboys. With Thomas still out, Hudson started burractive four penalties on the opening drive. Two fall starts and two for unnecessary roughness. That cost him big time. He got benched right after that series and barely saw the field again, logging just one offensive snap for the rest of the year. His emotional outbursts showed a clear lack of discipline. Under the new head coach John Harbaugh, keeping Hudson was never likely.
