Giants cut Will Hill

Lets see what he is like after the suspension, after being cut and the after he realizes that this will have an impact on his wallet.

 

Going undrafted and having to make it on a try out didn't have an impact on his wallet? He made less than $500 K both years he played and racked up over $200K in fines.  He has another 6 game "fine" of $201K for 2014.  Guys picked in the 4th round generally signed $2.5M contracts and got signing bonuses.  He is from East Orange and played for the Giants.  The Jets are not exactly a change of scenery.  I read articles all the time about how these guys have turned over a new leaf, but some of them just don't.  Here is an article from 2012 about how he had dedicated himself to the game:

FWIW, he signed with the Arena League.  Cue 128.

 

 

Will Hill might have been the best player in the New York Giants' secondary in 2014, but the teamreleased him after his recent six-game suspension following repeated off-field problems.

Hill, however, isn't taking a break from professional football. He's signed with the Arena League's Arizona Rattlers.

 

"I'm excited to get out on the field. I'm ready to get out there and put people over the wall," Hill said of the indoor sport.

The safety might need the work because of money problems. WPIX in New York says Hill owes money after reportedly leaving a rented house with a maggot infestation, holes in the wall and dog feces from his four pit bulls. Jordan Raanan of NJ.com reports that Hill owes at least one other former business associate money, according to a source, and he was arrested late last year for owing more than $9,000 of unpaid child support.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin expressed disappointment with Hill on Thursday.

"If this is your job and you're willing to jeopardize your job for some other reason, then perhaps you don't have your mind and priorities where they should be in the first place," Coughlin said.

Hill's need to find work will keep him in shape for a potential return to the NFL during the 2014 season. Then again, he puts himself at risk of suffering an injury playing an unfamiliar style of game. 

"Will knew the situation he put the Giants in and he forced their hand," Giants safety Antrel Rolle said Thursday. "For him to keep moving himself in the wrong direction, it's not a good thing."
