Actually it doesn't. It saves 1.025 minus about 475k.



No it does save $1.025 million.

No, it doesn't. He gets replaced by someone else in the top 51 salaries, which, based on the Giants current contracts, will be $480K of the $1.025M. And when you factor that the Giants will have to ultimately draft or sign a punter to replace Wing, they will end up saving nothing at all (or close to it).

This was a performance move, not a cap savings move.
Hey Henry,

Heres an arm, heres a leg!
Here's a wing?
Do you like the wing Henry? Or do you go for the old heart and lungs?

Improvement as it should be under a new regime.

.... (which led to Elliot's 61-yard game winner) arguably doomed the season last year in week 3. They never recovered from that moment.

I was hoping he would be better but he just became part of the problem.

A good punter would be invaluable to this team. Same with the kicker. If I was Aldrick Rosas, I wouldn't start shopping for houses in Jersey any time soon.
The bloodletting's just started, gentleman ...

He had a few of those shanks. Just crushed us in key spots.

Might not be a bad replacement.
It's nobody's fault when someone kicks a 61 yard field goal.

He never appeared to have a strong leg.....  
Simms11 : 3/10/2018 7:36 pm : link
He had that left-footed Aussie kick thong going for him, but his hang time, distance and placement sucked. It's a shame we gave up a draft pick for him.

He might cost a third round pick. I'm not saying they shouldn't, but that could be the price.
thank god

guy was absolutely crushing the ball with height and distance but he never came through with one of those when the Giants needed them the most in the regular season.
So who is available?

It was the perfect storm....

This game symbolized our season, of coming up short....

The bad punt and then the completion where I think Apple takes out Jenkins, and allows the receiver to get out of bounds with 1 second left, to kick the fg....

Not much saved with this cut.....just surprised the likes of Harris, Marshall, etc., are still on the roster....

Will play in the NFL again this year he sucked last year but kickers are like that.

Kickers can be like that. Punters are usually consistent.
The whole special teams roster was a mess...  
GFAN52 : 3/11/2018 10:03 am : link
Not sorry to Wing go. I'm confident DG will bring in real kicking competition for Rosas to see whether he wins the job or is shown the door as well.
I think the Offense wore out

Wing's leg the last 2 years...

something that is not really discussed when reviewing Reese's resume here. Tynes was a good pickup.
