Shawn Andrews may become a cap casualty, but he has every intention of playing for the Giants this season.
The veteran offensive lineman tweeted Saturday night, “LMAO!! Why Wouldn’t I Wanna Work For The Best Organization In The League #IMO”
The tweet was in response to a question by WFAN’s Giants reporter Paul Dottino, who asked Andrews, “Do you expect to play for NYG this season?”
With the Giants reportedly projected to be over the salary cap by $11.34 million, Andrews is a candidate to be released, according to ESPN.com’s John Clayton.
According to Clayton, the Giants can slice $7.333 million by releasing Andrews.
They have 30 days after the start of the league year to decide whether to pay Andrews a $3.5 million roster bonus.

Jacquian Williams did some individual work today. He's rehabbing and resting his PCL injury that slowed him down last year.

So to recap, Giants didn't have their top two WRs at voluntary OTA. Nicks would've been limited but Coughlin wasn't thrilled.

Coughlin sounded disappointed that Nicks is not here at voluntary OTA. Nicks would've been limited though as he makes way back.

Eli has been looking for Louis Murphy a lot, especially on deep passes. Jerry Reese said he believes Murphy can add deep threat element

Don't see Hakeem Nicks on field at OTAs. Chris Snee and David Baas might be inside rehabbing. No Victor Cruz at voluntary OTA.

That's right Wisey, love the Spartan! RT @MikeWiseguy: used to hate Randolph as a knucklehead Blazer. Now I love him as an old-head Grizzly.
