Overview
- The New York Giants cut offensive lineman Evan Neal, ending his four-year tenure with the team and making him an available NFL free agent.
- Neal was the No. 7 overall pick in the 2022 draft and entered the league with expectations to anchor the Giants' offensive line.
- Injuries and inconsistent play limited Neal to 29 regular-season games with 27 starts and included a season missed in 2025.
- The team moved Neal from tackle to guard, declined his fifth-year option, re-signed him to a one-year deal this offseason, and ultimately released him as other players won roster roles.
- At 25 and 6-foot-7, 340 pounds, Neal remains a reclamation candidate who could draw interest from teams seeking developmental upside while the Giants press forward with rookie Francis Mauigoa and added veteran interior linemen.
