The Giants cut former starters, draft picks<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/26/sports/tommy-devitos-giants-run-comes-to-end-as-team-releases-fan-favorite/"> and feel-good stories</a>.

All in the name of having a more talented roster than recent years.

Here are five takeaways from the initial 53-man roster after 29 roster moves (26 cuts) were made Tuesday.

1. Gunner Olszewski, who was signed after camp started, won the returner job over Ihmir Smith-Marsette because he showed more playmaking as a slot receiver (10 catches for 112 yards and a touchdown in three games).
