space -- subtracting about $6M for the draft, it's really about $4M to improve a 6-10 team with a lot of holes and almost any cuts carrying dead money.
Not impossible, but even that extra $2M, if the higher end projections had held true, would have helped.
And that's exactly why I'm sure the Giants are going to go all out trying to get a long term deal done with JPP, rather than have him play on the franchise tag.

Giants currently estimated to have $24.232M of cap space. If JPP tagged, that will change.
I would assume not, but hey, you never know.

Suh will be the biggest beneficiary
FYI, the franchise tag for DEs is $14.813M.
They need to get Eli done.
