EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The New York Giants on Monday released center J.D. Walton, a 16 game starter last season, according to the team website.
Walton was drafted 80th overall out of Baylor in the 2010 Draft by the Broncos, but was sidelined with a dislocated ankle two years later. He was claimed off waivers by the Redskins in 2013 before joining New York on March 12 of last year.
Cutting him frees up $3 million of cap room for the Giants, who are seeking an upgrade at the position, and on Monday assigned a $14.8 million franchise tag to defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.
Walton has started all 52 regular season contests of his career, as well as two postseason appearances.
