Buccaneers safety Logan Ryan files grievance against Giants

Veteran cornerback-turned-safety Logan Ryan spent the past two NFL seasons with the New York Giants and even put pen to paper on a three-year extension with the club in December 2020. However, the two sides parted ways last month when the Giants elected to go in a different direction defensively. 

Ryan ultimately signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers "to win a championship," but it appears his departure from New York wasn't as amicable as some first thought. 

According to Jordan Raanan of ESPN, Ryan has filed a grievance against the Giants regarding guaranteed money. The Athletic's Dan Duggan offered more information: 

As Raanan wrote, the Giants saved slightly under $800,000 against the salary cap by cutting Ryan. General manager Joe Schoen, who was hired for that role in January and, thus, never signed Ryan, said that releasing the 31-year-old was the "best decision for the New York Giants."
