The NFL roster shuffle continues, and three recently released New York Giants have already landed on their feet with new teams. Defensive tackle Elijah Chatman, linebacker Swayze Bozeman, and wide receiver Courtney Jackson were all claimed off waivers on Friday, proving that opportunity often strikes fast in the league.

Chatman is heading to the Cleveland Browns, where he'll get a fresh start. The Giants made the tough decision to part ways with him after loading up on defensive tackles this offseason, signing veterans D.J. Reader, Shelby Harris, Leki Fotu, and Sam Roberts in free agency, claiming Zacch Pickens off waivers, and adding Bobby Jamison-Travis in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. It was a numbers game, and Chatman was the odd man out.

Bozeman, meanwhile, will suit up for the Cincinnati Bengals. He found himself squeezed out of the Giants' linebacker room after the team invested a first-round pick in Arvell Reese, grabbed Jack Kelly in the sixth round, and welcomed back a healthy Micah McFadden. Sometimes it's not about talent—it's about depth and draft capital.

Jackson, a 5-foot-9, 170-pound wide receiver who signed a futures contract with the Giants back in February, is now headed to the Tennessee Titans. It's a quick turnaround for the speedy pass-catcher, who will get a chance to prove himself in a new system.

The fourth player released by the Giants, defensive lineman Marlon Tuipulotu, remains a free agent for now. But with rookie mini-camp kicking off this weekend in New York, more roster moves could be on the horizon. For fans watching the waiver wire, this is just the beginning of a busy offseason shuffle.
