"One source with knowledge of the process (but not the same source who was on the money — pun lame but intended — when providing info about the 2014 cap) tells PFT that the cap could spike to $145 million in 2015 and a whopping $160 million in 2016." |
The two of them would improve this team massively.
I wrote this in another thread, but if we can somehow retain JPP AND Suh, we've essentially made our line respectable. JPP, Suh, Hankins, and Moore/Ayers/Draft/FA, along with Bromley and one of the afformentioned ends as a back up will give us a very solid start. Coupled with the talent in our secondary (if it can somehow stay healthy), and we have a team that can rush the passer and cover. Will Hill would sure as fuck be nice there.
But Iupati is the one who would have a MASSIVE impact.
Beatty - Iupati - Richburg - Schwartz - Pugh. THAT is a line you can win with.
Either way, we need a starting caliber guard and some smart depth along the O-line.
The benefits of poor drafts is there are few to resign.
Ideally, when you can afford it, you fill needs through FA & stock for the future through the draft. Thats not to say you shouldnt try give rookies playing time, specially in this era, but you cant rely on rookie no matter how high they're drafted. They dont always work out.
Giants definitely need a few good FA pick ups if they have any hope to turn it around.

I think the Giants need to sign an OL & a DL for obvious reason, but they also need a WR opposite OBJ in case Cruz isnt the same, or needs more time. WR doesnt have to be a pro bowler, but someone experienced, reliable and can take advantage of OBJ being doubled.
I'd like to believe they'd look for a good starting caliber LB, but based on their track record they'd rather spend the money shoring up the DL.
Victor, why not? if we wisely add an "IMPACT" free agent or two combined with a good draft, I was going to post decent, but I'm tired of decent drafts, we could make progress in turning this shithole of a season around. We've done it in the past.

I agree. see my 1:49 post
Iupati's best days seem past him too.

As of right now, without JPP and Rolle Giants cap is just under $120m. That's with Eli playing out the final year of the contract as is, and guys like Kiwi ($7.5m cap, $4.8m in savings if cut), Beason ($7.4m cap, $3.5m in savings if cut), Walton ($3.1m cap, $2.5m in savings if cut) .
Giants can create A LOT of room. They can have a very busy and make an impact in the off season if the chose to... not like they have a choice really.
Those numbers are from overthecap...

No apology necessary. I do the same thing sometimes.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving

I'm on board for those cuts. I'm a fan and grateful of Beason's but the guy can't stay healthy, so long Kiwi! and Walton well he's nothing but a Veteran Backup and we can't pay him that much to be a backup.
This team has a ton of holes, they're not going to rebuild it spending a ton of UFA dollars. It's going to take another draft or two, some bargain hunting, and perhaps a few well-picked bigger UFAs.
