Overall, only 19 of the Top 100 players remain available. The highest-ranking player available is Cardinals linebacker Kevin Minter, who checks in at No. 44. Also available are No. 48, Bills linebacker Zach Brown, and No. 49, Giants defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins. Those are the only three players available in the Top 50. So while there are still scores of free agents who will sign in the months ahead, few of them are the kinds of players who change a franchise. Those players were snapped up quickly. |
If Hank priced himself out, I'd love to bring in Clady for 1 year, 8M to provide some competition. Bring back Robinson too.

What was the reported cap savings for 2017 from JPP contract? 9? 11?

we have about 15M left, and we should be able to create some more if need be.

They have his cap hit this year at 7.5, meaning the savings would be a hair under 10.

Thanks Jon..Btw, I notice Folk is close to signing or has signed with Bucs
Let Hank go and give the position to Bromley and Thomas and draft a late developmental DT
After the draft they can re-assess their needs. There's often a pool of veteran free agents on the wrong side of 30 who weren't happy with the offers on the table and decided to wait until after the draft to choose the best situation (i.e., Leon Hall). The Giants can dip into that pool to round out the roster.
As for Ryan Clady, I haven't scouted him personally, but I get the impression from what I've read that there isn't much left in the tank (i.e, Bob McGinn had him ranked behind Marshall Newhouse in his free agent OT rankings).
I would like to have two year deals with minimal garantees so that way if the player stinks they can move on but if he plays well the team still has control of that player. You can also lower the cap hit for the first year and carry that cap space into year 2.
Look at Hankins. I like him but some want him back on a 1 year deal. I don't think Hankins eating up approximately $6 million against the cap this year is wise personally.

This is the kind of bargain hunting I'd like to see going forward. All the A-list and B-list free agents have--for the most part--been scooped up already. No reason to waste good cap space on multi-year deal with a C-list free agent. But like I said, I would still consider a multi-year deal for Keenan Robinson because the continuity he brings gives him added value.
