INDIANAPOLIS — One day after Joe Schoen left the door open to trading Saquon Barkley, the Giants released his backfield mate, Devontae Booker.
Cutting Booker cleared only $2.125 million in cap space for 2022, not even half of the $5 million saved by Kyle Rudolph’s release earlier Wednesday.
Booker, 30, is a well-rounded and reliable back who performed admirably in Barkley’s absence last season and wasn’t terribly expensive.
