And you like to draft young guys and develop them and see them grow.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>These were mostly the predictable players for Daboll to list. Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard, Blake Martinez. McKinney, though, was a wild card. Perhaps the new front office and coaching groups felt McKinney, a talented safety entering his third NFL season, is ready to assume a greater leadership role and that Ryan\u2019s presence in the locker room and on the field might have stunted that development.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/FOOTBALL-NFL_.6-e1648604440994.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Giants free safety Xavier McKinney (29) breaks up a pass intended for Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (17) during the first half at MetLife Stadium.\" class=\"wp-image-21709998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/FOOTBALL-NFL_.6-e1648604440994.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/FOOTBALL-NFL_.6-e1648604440994.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/FOOTBALL-NFL_.6-e1648604440994.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Giants free safety Xavier McKinney<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Vincent Carchietta\/USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Parting ways with Ryan had nothing to do with creating salary cap space \u2014 the savings was a modest $775,000. Other factors, such as Ryan at 31 years old perhaps losing a step or not fitting with what defensive coordinator Wink Martindale wants, could all be part of the reasoning. Ryan reunited with Tom Brady and signed with the Buccaneers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s decisions that are made every offseason that are tough decisions,\u2019\u2019 Daboll said. \u201cI\u2019ve known Logan for a little bit of time and at the end of the day, we just thought it was the right thing for us to do and I wish Logan great success in Tampa. He\u2019s a good player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, when you\u2019re taking over a new program there\u2019s decisions that need to be made and you make those decisions, you do what you think is the right thing to do for your team.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Daboll, as did <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> manager Joe Schoen, said he called Barkley when reports out of the scouting combine indicated the Giants were trying to find a trade partner for the marquee running back.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/saquon-barkley-arm.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Saquon Barkley #26 of the New York Giants runs with the ball after the catch against the Miami Dolphins in the third quarter at Hard Rock Stadium on December 05, 2021 in Miami Gardens, Florida.\" class=\"wp-image-21615305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/saquon-barkley-arm.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/saquon-barkley-arm.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/saquon-barkley-arm.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Saquon Barkley<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWhen things come out, I try to stay on top of it,\u2019\u2019 Daboll said. \u201cI have kids that are 22 and 21 years old. They\u2019re people first. It\u2019s important to show a little empathy too to the guys in the situations they\u2019re in. I know it\u2019s a tough business but I think it\u2019s a people business too.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Giants this offseason brought back QB Davis Webb, their third-round pick in 2017. This was a move instigated by Daboll, who worked with Webb the past three years when Webb was on the Bills\u2019 practice squad. The Bills actually offered Webb a job as their quarterbacks coach, but Webb, 27, wanted to extend his playing career as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s the best teammate that I\u2019ve ever seen,\u2019\u2019 Daboll said. \u201cAnd I hate using that word, but he\u2019s unbelievable with his teammates in terms of off the field, studying. He would meet with Josh [Allen] every Friday to go through our call sheet and organize it. He was a great sounding board and a really good competitor.\u2019\u2019\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
