No, they can't release him without messing up their cap situation. He is under contract for next year too but the money is not guaranteed so they theoretically could release him in the offseason but odds are much greater he retires or gets traded. No point releasing him when you can get something for him.

Did my preliminary picks for this week, some much easier choices on the face of it. Might take another look before the weekend though.

I just did my picks. Yahoo says I only have one upset at the moment, but I feel like I have two or three.

I've got two, but neither really seem like upsets based on last week's play.

My one upset is a bit risky, but I think it is going to be closer than most.

I have two upsets that seem obvious to me, not sure why nearly everyone disagrees with me.

Rashawn Slater has a chance of becoming Offensive rookie of the year. He totally dominated Chase Young just like he did in college last Sunday.

No shot a lineman gets OROY. A QB or Najee Harris will, and one of the WRs will have an outside shot.

Yeah, no way that happens. Tristen Wirfs was the #1 Ranked RT by PFN last year, and I doubt anyone considered him for Rookie of the Year. It will definitely be a QB.

It's always a QB or RB and rarely a WR. Last WR to win was Odell Beckham Jr, and that was after a 1300yd, 12 td season. Last RB was Saquon Barkley in 2018, and he only won because he had a monster season and all of the rookie QBs that year besides Mayfield were terrible.

That's a shame because some of these lineman are just not appreciated enough. Mark Mosely won the MVP in 1982 and he was a kicker, so it's not beyond the realms of impossibility.

Jamarr Chase suddenly found his catching form for the Bengals once the season started. He had a decent game last Sunday, he made some ridiculous moves on cornerbacks to get separation. It will be interesting to see at the end of the season which team selected the best wide reciever in the draft.

My money is on Lawrence or Wilson to with Offensive Rookie of the Year. Lord knows both will be throwing a lot since they will be playing from behind.

I guess Chase finally figured out what a football looks like without the college stripes.

That game was rough to watch. So many flags, game ending on one and changing the results. So many field goals, too much of a mediocre roller coaster. Glad it is over and ended with us each getting a W.

That game just added twenty years to my life. Second week in a row Chase Young has not turned up. Two weeks into the season and he still doesn?t have a sack. Giants are either not as bad as advertised or Washington?s defense is overrated, can?t decide which. Hienicke threw for 346 yards but I am not convinced he can lead Washington all the way to the playoffs. McLarin is looking like one of the best wide receivers in the league. Barkley looks like a shadow of his former self and I didn?t realise Daniel Jones could run, he got 86 yards on the ground.

Crazy game. Definitely a case where the Giants lost more than Washington won. NYG had some brutal penalties called and a bad drop where they could've had 2 TDs and had to settle for field goals. Daniel Jones played a pretty good game but Washington's secondary was just awful.

And yeah, Jones is pretty mobile. He's been their leading rusher both weeks so far, for what it's worth. That's a combination of Jones being a pretty good scrambler and Barkley just looking kind of bad. Their bottom 5 offensive line definitely isn't helping.
