For the New York Giants, the 2023 preseason has come and gone. Now it’s time to make personnel decisions with the 53-man roster deadline approaching at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
Head coach Brian Daboll isn’t waiting around, either. He began making those tough decisions on Saturday, less than 24 hours removed from the team’s final exhibition game.
“Those discussions are difficult and we had some this morning. The message is that everybody has to stay ready,” Daboll told reporters on Saturday. “Stay ready and just appreciate everything they have contributed up to this point.”
Below is a tracker capturing all of the Giants’ transactions (none of these moves are considered official until the team files them with the league).
