00:00 The New York Giants' week Martindale drama is over as the team announced via social media
00:06 that they and the 60-year-old defensive coordinator have mutually agreed to part ways.
00:11 Martindale, who was reported to have been at odds with head coach Brian Dable for weeks,

00:27 and his brother Kevin, a defensive assistant, both of whom are trusted Martindale disciples.
00:32 Martindale, who had one year remaining on his contract, then went AWOL from the team,
00:38 reportedly refusing to take their calls as he headed down to Florida, where he has a
00:42 home.
00:43 The Giants and Martindale, according to ESPN, have reportedly settled the remaining year
00:48 on his contract by granting him permission to pursue employment elsewhere in return for
