Giants Release Kicker Graham Gano

The New York Giants have released veteran kicker Graham Gano, a move that saves the team $4.5 million in salary cap space.

The move was expected after the Giants signed veteran kicker Jason Sanders. The team also has Ben Sauls on the roster at the position.

Gano, who turns 39 next month, spent six seasons with the Giants but played only 23 games the past three seasons due to injuries. In five games last season, he went 9-of-10 on field goals and made all nine extra points.
