Report: CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie signing with Oakland
Raiders Former New York Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie has signed with the Oakland Raiders http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-will-hernandez-jersey , according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.Rodgers-Cromartie signed a five-year, $35 million contact with the Giants in the spring of 2014. With the Giants, he played outside corner, slot corner, and safety, and he played well — even when the rest of the defense didn’t. With the arrival of the new regime in 2018, the Giants elected to move Rodgers-Cromartie from his reserve cornerback role to free safety, a move he embraced. However, DRC was released by the team in March after refusing to take a pay cut following his move. After parting ways with both Rodgers-Cromartie and Ross Cockrell http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-janoris-jenkins-jersey , the Giants’ depth at the position became worrisome, and even more so after the season-ending injury to Sam Beal. With few proven options behind the Giants starters, fans began to wonder if the Giants might re-sign DRC. That ship officially sailed Wednesday. As it stands now, the Giants are looking at a platoon of William Gay, B.W. Webb, Leonard Johnson, Grant Haley, and Donte Deayon behind Janoris Jenkins and Eli Apple.Giants practice squad tracker 2018: Signings, rumors http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-connor-barwin-jersey , rules, news more The New York Giants trimmed their roster from 90 players down to 53 on Saturday, and will likely continue to shuffle the roster throughout the day Sunday.
