The Facts: The Giants trimmed their roster by waiving five players Monday, including Lorenzen, who had been with the organization since 2004. Also released were four first-year players: Wide receiver Todd Lowber, long snapper Nick Leeson, defensive tackle Brian Soi and offensive lineman Jacobs Hobbs.

Diehards Line:During his Giants tenure, Lorenzen played in four regular season games and one postseason game. In the regular season, Lorenzen threw eight passes and completed four for 28 yards -- all in 2007 -- and had one regular season rushing attempt for 2 yards. He also has one postseason rushing attempt for two yards. Both runs were in the 2006 season. The team signed former first-round pick David Carr this offseason; Anthony Wright and rookie Andre Woodson are the other QBs on the roster behind Eli Manning.
