Giants cut loose O'Hara and Seubert
In a move to get younger on the offensive line, the New York Giants released both Shaun O'Hara and Rich Seubert in the first of many moves by Big Blue today.
Both Seubert and O'Hara were mainstays on the Giants offensive line for the past decade, but last season dealt with various leg injuries that caused them to miss significant time.
The Giants are $6.1 million over the salary cap, according to ESPN.com senior NFL writer John Clayton. O'Hara was due $3.45 million in base salary for this season. Seubert was scheduled to make $2.25 million in base salary. It is uncertain whether the Giants may bring one or both back at less money.
There is the chance that both players could return once the Giants get under the cap, however, getting younger is going to be very important for big blue. The Giants drafted only one offensive lineman in the draft, and the Giants will have to look around in free agency if they want to fill those key spots.
Seubert was huge for the Giants last year. He filled in at center when O'Hara went down, and did admirably. The Giants should look to bring him back, he's only 32. However the big concern here is whether he, or O'Hara would even be ready for opening day in Washington on September 11.
