New York Giants release Ahmad Bradshaw, others.

The New York Giants continued their roster purge after missing the playoffs, cutting halfback Ahmad Bradshaw and defensive tackle Chris Canty. The Giants announced the moves Wednesday. The release of the two starters came one day after New York let starting weakside linebacker Michael Boley go after four seasons. The three players were all veterans who contributed to the Giants’ Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots a year ago. They also had big salaries and battled injuries last season. Bradshaw, the Giants’ leading rusher the past three seasons, has been bothered by foot and ankle problems for years. Boley had shoulder and hamstring issues and Canty had knee problems.

The Cincinnati Bengals have moved assistant coach Hue Jackson into a new role, giving him the job of replacing the retired Jim Anderson as running backs coach. Jackson was an assistant defensive backs coach last season. The Bengals hired

Bell was signed away from Buffalo last year to replace injured left tackle Jason Peters (Arkansas Razorbacks), but he lost his starting job in training camp.

Donald Driver rewrote the Green Bay Packers record books and Wednesday morning, the wide receiver might’ve rewritten the book on how a player should call it a career. Officially retiring after 14 seasons — all with the Packers, something that was extremely important to him — the franchise’s all-time leading receiver celebrated his career during an unprecedented event inside the Lambeau Field atrium with 1,500 fans, his family, Packers coaches, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Green Bay mayor Jim Schmitt and a handful of teammates. Driver said it was a tough decision but he’s ready for the next chapter in his life. He retires after catching 743 passes for 10,137 yards, making the team as a seventhround draft pick out of Alcorn State in 1999.
