Overview
- The New York Giants placed Webb on the reserve/retired list on Sunday, August 16, officially removing him from the active 90-man roster while retaining his NFL rights.
- Webb signed with the Giants days earlier, practiced once, played 14 defensive snaps in the preseason loss to the Vikings and recorded two tackles before the roster move.
- A 28-year-old undrafted free agent from 2022, Webb spent time with multiple teams and finished his career with 45 total tackles, four pass deflections, one forced fumble, one recovery and one defensive touchdown.
- The Giants signed veteran quarterback Jake Haener to fill Webb’s open spot on the 90-man roster as the team continued to adjust depth during preseason roster cuts.
- Reporting found no public explanation for Webb’s retirement and noted a minor discrepancy in earlier coverage about when he signed with the Denver Broncos, illustrating the fast turnover and thin margins for fringe NFL players.
