Giants released WLB Michael Boley. Boley's name had been mentioned as a possible release candidate since the season ended, but this wasn't a lock to happen. Set to earn a $4.25 million salary in 2013, the move saves the Giants $3.1 million in cap space. Boley was benched for the final three games of the season in favor of Spencer Paysinger and Jacquian Williams. Prior to Week 15, he played in 92 percent of the defensive snaps, but he struggled against both the pass and the run. New York is aiming to get younger all around in 2013. Boley will turn 31 in August.
