Graham Gano, then Jude McAtamney, then Younghoe Koo, and now another one.
Koo was released by the Giants on Tuesday.
Why did the Giants cut Younghoe Koo?
Koo simply hadn’t been quite good enough for the Giants.
He missed two field goals on Sunday (both from 50-plus yards).
He was 4-for-6 on field goals with the Giants and 11-for-12 on extra points. It wasn’t awful performance, but nothing Koo did convinced the Giants that he’d be their kicker long-term.
It’s the second time Koo has been cut this season, after the Falcons did it after Week 2.
Who is the Giants’ new kicker?
The Giants haven’t yet made clear who their new kicker is.

Gano’s injuries this season are what started the ball rolling toward McAtamney and Koo in the first place.
New York has three games left and can use them to get a look at one more leg in case it’s helpful in the future.
