The Giants withdrew receiver Da’Mari Scott and defensive end Shakial Taylor, two players who exercised the COVID-19 deactivation clause last season.
Scott had two catches in five games for the Giants in 2019. The Giants claimed Taylor’s resignation from the Broncos last July, but chose to never participate in training camp.
Under the agreement between the NFL and the Players Association, players who opted for 2020 and received a $ 150,000 allocation will have to return the cash advance if they are released in 2021. Players who were considered d high risk to hire COVID-19, such as The Giants left Nate Solder – and received a $ 350,000 expense for not having to return the money.
It is unclear whether Scott and Taylor were considered high risk.
