This is the time of year when New York Giants fans spend a lot of time — probably too much time — obsessing over the year 1984. The significance of 1984? Giants fans, you know this one. It is, of course, the last time the Giants, once known for their mighty linebacking corps, selected a linebacker in the first round of the NFL draft. That linebacker, of course, was the great Carl Banks, who helped the Giants win a pair of Super Bowl...

Giants release Golden Tate and David Mayo
Giants make a pair of salary cap moves with free agency looming The first major offseason dominoes have fallen for the New York Giants, as the team released Golden Tate and David Mayo, per Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport.
