Wow...based on those comments from Coughlin, I guess it really does just come down to "boy were the Giants stupid."
You simply do not waive any player you think has a future with your team while the roster limit is at 90! For heavens sake, that's a big part of what the new expanded off-season roster is about.
Even when you figure in the fact that unsigned draft picks now count against the roster limit, teams still have more roster spots available than they did two years ago.
It's one thing to waive a player like Brad Herman; it's a completely different thing to risk waiving a player like Ballard. If the Giants were counting on him so much for the 2013 season, then why take such a needless risk?
I have long considered their front office to be among the best in the NFL, but they uncharacteristically really dropped the ball on this decision.
