The New York Giants released cornerback James Bradberry on Monday in order to save around $10.1 million against the salary cap this season.

New general manager Joe Schoen was trying to find a trade for Bradberry since before free agency in March but couldn't find anything that worked for all parties involved. Schoen admitted last week he was surprised there wasn't more interest in the team's No. 1 cornerback.

"Yeah, I was," he said last Wednesday on WFAN Sports Radio. "I thought there would be more interest. There were some teams that showed interest pre-draft, and we had a couple different times there were compensation in place and the contract never worked out. Being the fact that we did have good talks with the other teams and their agents had good talks with teams, sometimes if you're going to renegotiate a contract and couldn't come to an agreement, it is what it is."

The Atlanta Falcons are releasing Mike Davis after one season with the team.

Davis, an Atlanta native, appeared to confirm his release, tweeting: "I appreciate everything the falcons did for me. I was able to play for my hometown and impact my community. I appreciate the fans and my family."

Davis, 29, started eight of 17 games last season, rushing 138 times for 503 yards and three touchdowns while catching 44 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown. 

The Chicago Bears have released Nick Foles after two seasons with the team. Foles started seven games in 2020 and just one in 2021 after the team drafted Justin Fields.

Foles, 33, was due a base salary of $4 million this season. The Bears will save $8 million against their salary cap with the move. 

A veteran of 10 seasons, Foles has thrown for 14,003 yards with 82 touchdowns and 43 interceptions.
