A former NFL Pro Bowl cornerback is now looking for a job ahead of the 2022 season. 

The New York Giants have released James Bradberry in an apparent salary cap move after failing to find a trade partner for him, the team announced Monday. 

Bradberry, 28, who totaled seven interceptions in two seasons in New York, was the first Giants cornerback selected to the Pro Bowl since Janoris Jenkins in 2016.

The move comes as the Giants have new leadership this year, with the signing of Joe Schoen as general manager and Brian Daboll as head coach.

Last Wednesday, Schoen stated on WFAN Sports Radio that he had attempted to find a trade partner this year for Bradberry, but was surprised at the lack of interest. 

"I thought there would be more interest," Schoen said. "There were teams that showed interest pre-draft, and we had a couple different times there was compensation in place and the contract never worked out ... sometimes if you're going to renegotiate a contract, and you couldn’t come to an agreement, it is what it is."

"He’s a starting corner in the league," the general manager added, via NJ.com. "It’s just where we are financially."
