Giants cut an UDFA depth piece to make roster space, a routine transaction. Media coverage minimal, indicating Barten was a marginal prospect with limited NFL outlook. Signing former Saints/Titans LB Anfernee Orji suggests Giants prioritized linebacker depth over defensive line. Fans barely noticed, as Barten never established himself as a credible contributor. Giants likely continue evaluating linebacker options during training camp competition.
