Saquon Barkley, one of the NFL's budding stars, says he was inspired after talking with Tom Brady this offseason.

The Giants waived quarterback Kyle Lauleta, as they moved to the 53-man roster limit.

That leaves them with three quarterbacks (Eli Manning, Daniel Jones, and Alex Tanney).

They released defensive tackle Chris Slayton, running back Jon Hilliman; wide receivers TJ Jones and Reggie White, Jr.; tight ends C.J. Conrad and Jake Powell; offensive linemen Paul Adams, Evan Brown, Malcolm Bunche and James O’Hagan; defensive linemen Freedom Akinmoladun, Jake Ceresna, John Jenkins; linebackers Joey Alfieri, Jake Carlock, Terrence Fede, Avery Moss and Josiah Tauaefa; defensive backs Tenny Adewusi and Terrell Sinkfield, Jr.; punter Johnny Townsend; and long snapper Taybor Pepper.

They waived/injured linebacker Keion Adams, defensive back Kenny Ladler, tackle Victor Salako, defensive back Henre’ Toliver, wide receiver Alex Wesley, tackle Chad Wheeler, and defensive back Ronald Zamort. Defensive back Kamrin Moore was waived off the commissioner’s exempt list.

They placed five players on injured reserve, including linebacker Jonathan Anderson, tackle George Asafo-Adjei, wide receiver Brittan Golden, tight end Scott Simonson, and running back Rod Smith. Wide receiver Golden Tate is suspended for the first four games.
