Giants players felt for Blake Martinez on Tuesday, but they stayed in their lane and wouldn’t speculate on what the linebacker’s recent release meant.
“With Blake’s situation, he’s a hell of a player,” veteran edge rusher Jihad Ward said in the locker room. “We wish that it wasn’t like that, but we all know how this business stuff go[es]. We [are] in a crazy business. That’s all I can say on that one. Still love him to this day. That’s still our brother. Whatever team he goes to, I hope he’s successful.”
Quarterback Daniel Jones, whose Giants career depends on winning games this fall, steered clear of comment on the release of a two-time captain who made this team better.
