The New York Giants have parted ways with safety Will Hill.
The Giants waived Hill after he received his second suspension in so many seasons. Hill was suspended the first four games of 2012 and 2013 for violating the league's substance abuse policy. He was facing a six game suspension this season for the same offense.
Hill went undrafted out of Florida in 2012 because of his off-field issues during his time in Gainesville. The Giants signed him as a free agent where he would go on to play in 24 games total, starting in only 10. Last season, Hill had 77 tackles, two interceptions, two pass breakups and two forced fumbles.
With an already depleted secondary, the Giants will move fast to bring in another safety before the start of training camp next month.
Hill meanwhile, will have the difficult task of finding a team willing to take on a troubled player who wouldn't be available to play until week 7 of the season. His time in the league may be in serious jeopardy.
