The New York Giants have released receiver Brandon Marshall
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) The New York Giants have terminated the contract of veteran wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
General manager Dave Gettleman confirmed the move on Thursday during his pre-draft news conference. He says the 34-year-old Marshall failed his physical.
Marshall was scheduled to make $5 million this season.
After signing a two-year, $12 million contract as a free agent a little more than a year ago, Marshall played in five games last season. He was hurt against the Los Angeles Chargers in early October and had season-ending surgery to stabilize his ankle.
The game against the Chargers also saw the Giants lose receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Dwayne Harris with season-ending injuries.
Marshall finished the season with a career-low 18 catches for 154 yards and no touchdowns. The six-time Pro Bowler has 959 catches and has caught more than 100 passes in a season an NFL-record six times, including a career-high 118 with the Chicago Bears in 2012. He has played with Denver, Miami and the Jets.
The Giants also waived first-year tackle Jessamen Dunker, who suffered a foot injury in training camp last year and spent the season on injured reserve.
