Salary Cap
Giants 9.1 million over? Twitter conversation between Pat Inside Football and Joel Corry agent, National Football Post writer

Code:

Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina Will Reese make a "splash" this year the way he did a few years ago with Rolle? ..”& lt;& gt;have to see how much $$ is available. JanJoel Corryþ@corryjoel The Giants are approximately $9.1M over the cap. Eli Manning's $20.85M cap # makes him a restructure candidate. Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina Except he just redid his del last year -- they'd have to wait to do it again. Joel Corryþ@corryjoel The 1 year wait applies to salary increases. Eli converted base salary into signing bonus w/o increasing salary. Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina that would make sense then. Joel Corryþ@corryjoel As an agent, I had a team force a pay cut on a client twice during the same off-season. Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina I thought that wasn't allowed to occur within a 12-month period? Joel Corryþ@corryjoel The one year wait is for increases only. Steven Jackson made changes to his deal twice during this season. Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina Makes sense. But I sure would like to know if the projected cap numbers being reported include projected tenders. Joel Corryþ@corryjoel Players haven't been tendered. I'm assuming Victor Cruz will get the $2.879M 1st round tender but franchising is an option. Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina My guess is Beatty gets the franchise tag. Doesn't make sense to tender a RFA IMHO. Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina And if players not tendered, how can they be over the cap with 22 contracts expiring and less than 51 under contract? Joel Corryþ@corryjoel They are right at 51 players. Futures contracts count for the top 51. Joel Corryþ@corryjoel I agree about franchising a RFA. It's overkill since RFAs hardly ever sign offer sheets with another club. Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina Plus LTs harder to come by unless you have a top 10 pick or a ton of cap space. I suspect Boley, Philips, Bradshaw, Webster are all candidates for restructure/cuts Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina Phillips a UFA. And of the others, maybe one in serious danger. Joel Corryþ@corryjoel Corey Webster has the 2nd highest cap number on the Giants. 2013 is also his contract year. Patricia Trainaþ@Patricia_Traina He'll likely get a reduction, but I don't see him being cut
