Giants Release Return Specialist Chad Morton

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New general manager Jerry Reese cut another veteran from the Giants yesterday, releasing return specialist Chad Morton.

The release of Morton came a day after Reese cut three veteran starters: linebacker LaVar Arrington, offensive tackle Luke Petitgout and linebacker Carlos Emmons. Morton played two years with the Giants, averaging 9.2 yards on punt returns and 21.6 yards on kickoff returns this past season. He missed the final game of the regular season and the playoff game against Philadelphia after injuring his knee on December 24.
