Meanwhile the Giants just made a really puzzling move. They released Jasper Brinkley who as of yesterday was scheduled to be their starting middle linebacker AND whose salary this year was fully guaranteed. And they signed QB Josh Johnson.

The Giants like most teams rarely ever carry 3 QBs on their roster to open the year, because you can always sign veteran QBs later in the year if needed and realistically your season is fucked if your starter goes down.

The only theory that would make sense to me is that Brinkley is banged up and wasn't going to suit up this week, so they cut him with the plan of bringing him back next week since they've already guaranteed him his money. Johnson meanwhile is a fast QB who can simulate Dak Prescott in practice.

If it's not that though, I don't get the move at all. Brinkley was one of their only good LBs last year.
