Injured Hixon let go by Giants

The New York Giants waived wide receiver Domenik Hixon, who recently underwent surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament, on Thursday afternoon.

The team then signed wide receiver Adam Jennings, a 2006 sixth-round pick of Atlanta.

Hixon underwent surgery 10 days ago after suffering a season-ending knee injury during the team's first practice on the new turf at the New Meadowlands Stadium last month.

If Hixon clears waivers, however, the Giants are expected to place the popular wide receiver on injured reserve.

The Giants have been searching for a returner to replace Hixon, who was the team's best punt and kickoff returner. Sinorice Moss, Mario Manningham and Aaron Ross are still candidates to become the team's punt returner.

how exactly is it classless? the NFL is a business and the report says they will sign him back and put him on IR

You know how it works. If the Jets did it, Mike T is a genius. Otherwise, it's a classless move. At this rate we'll be no better than the Dolphins board by September.

impossible. that dolphins board has such a low football iq it's almost implausible. over there every young player is having a break-out year and/or is a beast and likely future pro-bowler. it's comical how stupid that fan base really is.

fandom by definition is irrational. what is your benefit if "your team" beat the other guys? do you get a prize in the mail? no.

jints are classless, yankees suck eggs, patriots can sleep with a goat. is this rational or factually verifiable? no. it's called being a fan.

Hixon blows. this was the best possible outcome for the Giants- he was taking up a roster spot and this move could spell Ramses BArden on the roster.

They're going to have a beastly WR corps this year.

Why? Ramses Barden is a project. They were both on the roster last year, why wouldn't they both have been there this year? Hixon was one the top punt returners in the league last year. Barden certainly isn't replacing that. They are going to be scrambling for returners.

I thought Hixon was going to step it up last year. He had a real nice season in '08 (did have some key drops) but he really went backwards in '09. Either way, the guy can fly and is a very good return man when healthy.

Not if he's claimed off waivers. ;)

Might be the best case scenario for Hixon. The Giants have a lot of young WR. He might be better off going elsewhere.
