IMO Bradshaw is a tough, competent but hardly world-beating back, severely overrated because of the team for which he’s played. There’s no place for competence on a team like the Jets.

Plenty of room for brains in your head though.
No competence?
Mangold
Ferguson
Holmes
Revis
Cromartie
etc. etc.
Funny, the Jets haters this season went after Rex, Tanny,Woody and Sparano, more than the players.

Suggestion: When you make a statement, even a foolish one, try to back it up.

Another thing is David Wilson no mater what will play significantly. So that would cut into Bradshaw’s carries. Next you have Andre Brown, who ran pretty darn well when relied upon. The Giants were at least $9 million over the cap and lastly Bradshaw has consistently battled foot and ankle injuries for years, and was not as fast and explosive as he once was. He can still play, but his lower body has been prone to injury.

Giants are looking to extend Hakeem Nicks, and lock up Victor Cruz. They needed the space, and while people are surprised by Bradshaw’s release, it was bound to happen. There are still other guys like Corey Webster that will definitely be looked at also.

I realize that “its just across the street” but really, is that all you want?

And as is the case with most reported “cap disasters,” it’s mostly hype.

The media report that they’re $26 million over the cap because it’s a big, scary number. But what they don’t report is that it’s mostly tied up in easy cuts. For example, Jason Smith, Eric Smith, and Tim Tebow—three backups—account for $16.5M of that 26M.
Add Pace and Scott, and the Jets are solvent to deal.

Normally, I’d agree that Jerry Reese only lets players go if they are damaged goods or otherwise done (Antonio Pierce, Steve Smith, Kevin Boss, etc.) but I still think Bradshaw has a few good years ahead of him if he can get his foot issues sorted out.
