Ahmad Bradshaw could be a cap casualty for the Giants

New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw recently underwent another foot procedure.  I believe’ts it’s his third in roughly three or four years.  It’s clear he’s breaking down and the Giants could decide to cut him instead of carrying his $3.75 million contract into the 2013 season, since they’re going to be over the salary cap heading into the new league year.
