Predict the next player to be cut

.

Ryan Perilloux

seems like cheap depth at this point. I would be shocked if they cut him simply over those comments....

aren't cutting Washington. He opened his mouth when he should have kept it shut. He shouldn't have done it, but it's hardly "antics."

Cutting him doesn't make sense. He would have had to say some real fucked up shit to have it linger to the offseason and impact his future with the team.

JD has gotta go though.

If I remember correctly, Corey Washington comments were childish and something you don't air out in public. He spoke about his frustrations of not playing because he doesn't do a lot on special team. Sure he broke team protocol but he didn't say anything all that derogatory or detrimental to the team. I think he will get his chance in camp to make the team again.

He's a kid and spoke out of turn. He gets a mulligan. Both Walton and Beason will be on the hook to take pay cuts. Beason will because he got good up front money and will have limited appeal to other teams. I could see Walton opting for release and hoping to get a shot at being a starter elsewhere.

unless hes FA, or JD.

I don't think the Giants want anyone to leave the field for the last time on a stretcher.

Anyway, there are two slightly different types of cap casualities:

1) Guys who might be cut because they have roster bonuses coming, e.g.
J.D. Walton
Jon Beason (although IIRC the timing of his payments is odd)
Robert Ayers
Trumaine McBride
Josh Brown (unlikely)
Jameel McClain (very unlikely)

2) Guys who might be cut to clear cap space because their salaries are too high.
Kiwanuka was in this category. I guess Steve Weatherford is too. Walton and Beason are probably in both. But really, the Giants don't have many overpaid players who are easy to cut. Beatty and Cruz are likely safe for another year, if only because of dead-money considerations. (Not that they would cut Cruz anyway.)

I mean, I'll feel bad for Uani Unga if the Giants waive him, but it won't exactly free up space for signing UFAs.

Should be
Peyton Hillis (870K)
Adrien Robinson (660K)
Jayron Hosley (660k)

Possible
Jon Beason (3.6m)
J.D. Walton (2.2m)
Geoff Schwartz (3.6m)

but we're not so there goes that brilliant bit of logic.

Then I hope we hear of extensions of Manning and or Amukamara.

Hosley b/c he sucks and anyone can replace him for camp including half of BBI.

Rolle will be indignant about the offer the Giants make him to put off checking into a nursing home.

I think Hillis is on a cap friendly deal under 1 mil. He might retire but he won't get cut imo.

I don't think you cut a guy making so little against the cap.

Robinson is not going to get cut. He was seeing more snaps towards the end of the season, and was getting reps in goalline packages. There's zero chance of Schwartz getting released.

Weatherford or Beason are after Walton.

I don't think he'll be cut, but his most snaps were week 4 against the Redskins (15).

The last two weeks of the season he was out there for 7 and 4 snaps respectively

were, to me, re-signing Hillis and Stevie Brown to contracts larger than the veteran minimum. I don't see much upside to inviting Hillis back to camp-- if the team gets in a tight spot with injuries later, he'll probably still be available (and for less money).

So Walton would be my pick unless he takes a cut. Other than that, not many high ticket guys around who don't earn their pay.

to cut a talented, cheap young receiver for mouthing off to the press.

Hillis is a good guess.

Ayers was arguably their best defensive lineman last year. he's not going to be cut.

Walton will probably go; they now have Richburg and Jones to compete at Center.

Robinson probably doesn't get cut now, but he better have a mighty good camp to make the 53. If what we saw last year was his best, his roster spot could go to someone with more upside.

his number is too high...

Then Walton

...his contract doesn't qualify for the Minimum Salary Benefit. So, surprisingly, his cap number currently ranks 22nd among Giants under contract for 2015. Also, he can be cut with no dead-money consequences at all.

Cutting Hillis would bump a second-year player with a $510K salary into the top 51, so I think the immediate cap savings would be a little over $400K. Not a fortune, but there isn't much downside to doing it if he's unlikely to make the team.

Or do I just get to toot my own horn on BBI?

Anyone need Powerball numbers?
Hillis released. - ( New Window )

toot toot

His cap number is fairly low and admitting total defeat on a 3rd round draft pick is pretty damning.

The fact that Adrien Robinson saw specs time as well as having a couple of TD's leads me to believe he is at least getting a shot to hang on.
