Although the full and complete announcement of players cut hasn't been released, The Newark Star Ledger has found out some of the names cut.

S' Charlie Peprah and Quentin Harris, TEs Wade Fletcher and Darcy Johnson, DT Marcus Green, G Kevin McAlmont, DE Willie Evans, FB Tony Jackson, LB Nick McNeil.

"Peprah and Johnnson are most certainly headed for the practice squad if another team doesn't claim them off waivers before tomorrow at noon. Green is another candidate to land there as well.

One player who has been informed he made the team is CB Kevin Dockery, a rookie free agent from Mississippi State."

Among those released were wide receiver Willie Ponder, one of four players in franchise history to return two kickoffs for touchdowns; cornerback Curtis Deloatch, who started 13 games last season; and defensive tackle Damane Duckett, who played in 14 games the previous two seasons, including eight last year. Another veteran let go was safety Quentin Harris, a fifth-year pro who was signed as a free agent in March.

Also waived were a pair of 2006 draft choices, safety Charlie Peprah, a fifth-round selection, and cornerback Gerrick McPhearson, who was chosen in the seventh round.

Defensive ends Eric Moore, the Giants’ sixth-round selection in 2005, and Adrian Awasom were also waived. Moore played in eight games last season, while Awasom appeared in five.

The other players waived were all rookies and first-year players: tight ends Wade Fletcher and Darcy Johnson, wide receiver Anthony Mix, fullback Tony Jackson, running backs James Sims and Mike Jemison, offensive linemen Kevin McAlmont, Troy Reddick and Todd Londot, defensive linemen Willie Evans and Marcus Green, and linebackers Tyson Smith and Nick McNeil.

Rookie offensive lineman Matt Lentz was placed on injured reserve with an elbow injury.

Those who earned a spot on the 53-man squad include wide receiver/punt returner Michael Jennings, a practice squad player the previous two seasons; five draft choices (Mathias Kiwanuka, Sinorice Moss, Gerris Wilkinson, Barry Cofield and Guy Whimper); two rookie free agents (cornerback Kevin Dockery and offensive lineman Na’Shan Goddard); and first-year free agent Jonas Seawright, who spent the entire 2005 season on the team’s practice squad.

I liked Willie Ponder! I guess with Moss there he became expendable.

Ponder is a great return man but Michael Jennings is just toooo fast to cut him lol. I wonder what this means for Chad Morton if they kept Jennings around to return kicks/punts/whatever.

The Packers signed CB Charlie Peprah...the Giants hoped to keep him but couldn't.

The Saints signed CB Curtis DeLoatch. He could be an interesting player down the line because of his sheer size alone. His instincts aren't that good, but he's got great size.
