Kyle Rudolph, who had just 26 catches for 257 yards with a touchdown in his only season with the Giants, has been released by the team, the tight end said on social media. The Giants will save $5 million against the salary cap with the move.
“Certainly not the year any of us expected, but a year we will never forget,” Rudolph wrote in his posts. “… Thanks to everyone in the building who took in and helped this old guy who needed to relearn everything about a new organization.”
Rudolph texted ESPN’s Adam Schefter that he is not retiring and still intends to play next season.
