Mills, 30, was on the non-football injury list with a calf strain but is now back healthy. Other teams may be interested.
He signed a one-year, $1.38 million contract with the Giants in March that included $467,500 guaranteed, according to Spotrac.
Mills had 45 tackles in 17 games (eight starts) with the New England Patriots last season.
Mills, a seventh-round draft pick by Philadelphia in 2016, had seven interceptions, 53 passes defensed and 406 tackles in 106 games (83 starts) with the Eagles (2016-20) and Patriots ball.
Mills’ release follows the reported signings of safeties Raheem Ryan and Jonathan Sutherland, who practiced with the Giants on Wednesday.
