The New York Giants are wasting no time putting their stamp on the roster under new head coach John Harbaugh. On Thursday, the team announced the release of four players, signaling a continued shake-up as they build toward the 2026 season.
Heading out the door are linebacker Swayze Bozeman, defensive linemen Elijah Chatman and Marlon Tuipulotu, and wide receiver Courtney Jackson. These moves come as Harbaugh and the front office look to fine-tune the squad ahead of training camp.
Bozeman saw action in six games last season, contributing primarily on special teams. Chatman, meanwhile, had a more notable presence over the past two years, suiting up for 22 games and recording one sack, two tackles for loss, and three quarterback hits. His release opens up a spot on the defensive line for a younger or more experienced addition.
Tuipulotu brings 33 career games of NFL experience to the open market, though none of those came with the Giants. Jackson, an undrafted free agent, never saw regular-season action for New York. Both departures free up roster flexibility as the Giants continue to reshape their depth chart.
For Giants fans, these roster moves are a clear signal that Harbaugh is committed to building a competitive, disciplined roster from the ground up. As the team gears up for the season, every roster spot is up for grabs—and every player will need to earn their place.
