Man, Andre Woodson has had a tough go of it, dating back to the Senior Bowl when his draft stock commenced downward spiral. At one time thought to be a first-round pick, the former Kentucky star fell to the Giants in the sixth round, proceeded to struggle mightily during the preseason, and now finds himself released.

According to the Giants blog, Woodson and backup Anthony Wright didn’t make the final cut, which means that … wait, what? David Carr is the only other quarterback on the roster after Eli Manning? Really? Wow, that’s a lot of faith in the Giants offensive line and Elisha’s ability to take a hit.

In any event, New York will probably try to sneak Woodson onto the practice squad, which should be pretty easy given the glut of mediocre quarterbacks currently flooding the market.

In other Giants personnel news, both R.W. McQuarters and Sam Madison made the roster despite speculation that one or both of the cornerbacks might be on the wrong side of the final 53 today. Sinorice Moss, the team’s 2006 second-round pick, also avoided the Turk, which probably had a lot to do with New York releasing Brandon London.

But seriously, Mr. Mittens?
