Something must be in the water at New York Giants training camp, because players cannot wait to get out of there.
Offensive lineman Zach Fulton retired on Friday, which made him the third player to hang up his cleats in four days.
Joe Judge was said to have gave a lengthy response to Fulton’s retirement — which Judge said was family and health related.
Fulton joins veteran offensive lineman Joe Looney and linebacker Todd Davis as the Giants players whom recently ended their career. The Giants head coach called them all “good dudes.”
“These are tough decisions on guys. As you get vets later in their career, they started training camp, it’s not uncommon for this to happen,” Judge said Thursday. “Now, you don’t want it to happen, but you have to respect the decision each person makes for their family. I’d say in both these cases, not to speak for the players, but both of them had family situations that they had to attend to, and that was a large part of the decision.
“I think both guys could’ve helped us. We left the door open for both guys based on what may open up in the future.”
