Giants’ Veteran Calls It A Career, Fans “Did Not See It Coming”
As reported by the wire, the Giants are placing CB Sam Webb on reserve/retired.
Originally a Missouri Western undrafted free agent, Webb made Las Vegas‘ active roster in 2022.
Despite landing on the Panthers‘ practice squad during his sophomore season, he was soon called up from the practice squad by the Raiders to begin the 2024 season. Since 2024, he has been on and off Las Vegas’ active roster several times, and he was let go last summer after training camp.

In November, the Browns signed Webb to their active roster after he initially signed with the Titans‘ practice squad. A qualifying offer was declined by Cleveland, making Webb an unrestricted free agent in 2026. After signing with the Broncos at the beginning of camp, he was let go about a week later.
He recorded eight total tackles, one pass defended, and one fumble recovered for a touchdown in seven games for the Browns in 2025.
