It is not easy following in the footsteps of the Manning brothers. Two young quarterbacks found that out Sunday, a day after the N.F.L.’s deadline for cutting rosters to 53 players. While Lynch was given three years to prove his ability to the Broncos, the Giants offered an even shorter grace period to their third-round pick from 2017, Davis Webb, whom they released Sunday. The move leaves Peyton’s 37-year-old brother, Eli Manning, without a clear successor as he begins his 15th season. Webb, 23, impressed a year ago during the preseason but has never appeared in a regular-season game in the N.F.L.
