Giants are definitely in win now mode

Don't think so
so with the JPP trade and Harris cut  
mphbullet36 : 3/22/2018 4:33 pm : link
that would free up about 5 million in cap space...enough to almost sign the rookies. Which means maybe Marshall is staying
That one's not shocking. Didn't like that signing at all

Per Pat’s twitter
Giants announce they have terminated Dwayne Harris' contract.
Not surprised,  
darren in pdx : 3/22/2018 4:36 pm : link
often injured and didn't return on investment outside of the first season. Too bad it didn't work out because he's a great ST player and decent WR depth.
i think it is the correct and necesssary move  
Essex : 3/22/2018 4:36 pm : link
and his signing was a head scratcher at the time and now, but I always liked the guy, I thought when he was healthy he played hard.
expected  
GiantsFan84 : 3/22/2018 4:38 pm : link
but still glad it happened
His best days  
Beer Man : 3/22/2018 4:39 pm : link
were behind him. At this point of his career he was overpaid and easily replaceable
This is the right move but I liked Harris  
Chris684 : 3/22/2018 4:40 pm : link
The guy was a gamer and besides his salary, not part of the underlying problem with the locker room recently.

He would have fit in well on the SB teams he missed out on by a few years.

Best of luck to him.

That's about right I think. Oft injured, but an excellent special teamer who was a willing if limited receiver.

Seems the giants are trying to put themselves in a position to clear the books for the future without punting on next season.

In any event Dwayne Harris isnt a win now player.
Harris was a real good player

+1. Harris was tough, was always a fan of his. I never blame a player who is paid more than people think he's worth, especially when he's playing hard.
was just a matter of time  
2cents : 3/22/2018 4:47 pm : link
paid him like a #3 Wide out to fill the role of an UDFA special teamer.

will always remember his return td against the cowgirls back a couple years, that was a sweet win.

Based on everything I’m seeing they should have about $6 million exclusive of the draft pool.
about time.

never properly used him

what do we think? mostly depth signings or could we see marshall get cut here shortly and DG go for another starter level talent at around 8 mil?

I don't know why its one or the other with some of you. Its both. We are trying to get rid of players who aren't worth their contracts, or are hurt a lot, or have shitty attitudes. Why does that mean they aren't both trying to win now and build for the future?
Vereen will be next  
RAIN : 3/22/2018 4:57 pm : link
and then Marshall.
This was the most obvious move of all.....  
Dry Lightning : 3/22/2018 4:58 pm : link

Thank you DG!!

Vereen is a free agent.
Guy played with a lot of heart.  
BigBlue in Keys : 3/22/2018 5:01 pm : link
Gave us some exciting plays during a few poor seasons. Took a bunch of big hits and often played hard through injuries. What more could you ask for. I wish him all the best.

There is about $7.65M in available cap space for 2018 as of now
No surprise  
jeff57 : 3/22/2018 5:02 pm : link
Save about 2 mill.
once again this is about next years cap  
Chip : 3/22/2018 5:09 pm : link
and clear 4 mil more for 2019.

still a few others that need their pink slips...
I think other dominoes  
gmen9892 : 3/22/2018 5:23 pm : link
Have to fall in order for Marshall to be cut. I think he gets released after the draft, depending on how it shakes out.

The Giants dont really NEED him cap space right now.

Yup, solid player. Kick return abilities marginalized with the rule changes, but still a pro bowl caliber gunner and had his moments as a WR too.

Overpaid and an obvious cut, but no gripes about his efforts with the Giants
Never panned out as a slot receiver  
widmerseyebrow : 3/22/2018 5:37 pm : link
Making the contract a poor one.
Good luck!  
trueblueinpw : 3/22/2018 6:00 pm : link
He was a very solid special teamer. Remember a few games when he really stepped up as a WR too. Seems like a good guy, hopefully he has a great post playing career.

Why do people think Marshall will stick around? I thought he’d be a cap cut.
Most overrated

From what I understand teams have to keep rookie signing funds in a separate pot. Does anyone have the particulars on that?

I believe that's true.
Marshall is the perfect compliment to OBJ and Shepherd

I don't look at him as a "luxury" at all - he's really not that good.
Harris is a tough dude.  
Brown Recluse : 3/22/2018 7:28 pm : link
Always gave his best and did what was asked of him.

These are the kind of guys I enjoy rooting for. Wish him well.
