    Breaking News: Giants Release Antonio Pierce

    NY Giants release linebacker Antonio Pierce


    After five seasons, a Super Bowl championship, a tumultuous 2008 season, an air horn in the locker room, a serious neck injury and plenty of other ups and downs as an outspoken defensive captain, Antonio Pierce's time with the Giants is over.

    The team has released its middle linebacker, Pierce said in an e-mail Thursday afternoon.

    Pierce, 32, had one season remaining on the contract he signed as a free agent in 2005. But a bulging disk suffered last season might have played into the Giants' decision to cut him now.

    "I'm doing great, feeling great," Pierce wrote. "Looking forward to endless possibilities. Loved every moment as a NY GIANT."

    The Giants will announce the transaction shortly.

              Not surprised. He was great for a couple years but his best days are long behind him.

                              Looks like the Giants are going to be gunning for Karlos Dansby now.

                                  Yeah not surprised at this......whoever they tab next to play MLB will have some big shoes to fill.....Pierce may have been getting a bit long in the tooth but what he brought to our defense as a leader will be hard to replace

                                      Giants are high on Karlos Dansby.

                                          Expected, but Pierce should land on his feet. And Dansby would be a good fit for the Giants, defense could use a guy like that.

                                              AP was a great Giant, sad to seem him go but it had to happen.

                                              That one play in the NFC Championship game when he single handedly disrupted the screen pass, was a thing of awesomeness.

                                                  ^^holy shit it was.. that screen pass could have went for a TD it looked like, easily a crucial first down on 3rd down if Pierce doesn't grab him.
