Mills, 30, had been on the non-football injury list with a calf strain but is healthy now. Other teams are likely to be interested.
He signed a one-year, $1.38 million deal with the Giants in March that included $467,500 guaranteed, per Spotrac.
Mills recorded 45 tackles in 17 games (eight starts) with the New England Patriots last season.
A seventh-round pick by Philadelphia in 2016, Mills has seven interceptions, 53 passes defensed and 406 tackles in 106 games (83 starts) with the Eagles (2016-20) and Patriots.
Mills' release follows the reported signings of safeties Raheem Layne and Jonathan Sutherland, who worked out with the Giants on Wednesday.
