Few more Giants contract details:
• CB Darnay Holmes: 1 year, $2M with $50K guaranteed. He got the rarely used "four-year qualifying player" veteran salary benefit (VSB). Players with four straight years with a team can receive a base salary worth up to $1.45M more than the minimum while the cap hit is at the level of a player with two years experience. Long story short, his cap hit is just $1.3M.
• OT Matt Nelson: 1 year, $1.3M with $75K guaranteed. This is a standard VSB contract, so the cap hit is $1.2M.
• Dexter Lawrence's restructure has been processed on the NFLPA site, so the Giants now have $8.3M in cap space.

Some former Giants contract details:
• OL Ben Bredeson with the Bucs: 1 year, $3M with $1.75M guaranteed. I'll leave it to
@nickkorte
to break down the comp pick implications of that contract.
• OLB Jihad Ward with the Vikings: 1 year, $1.8M with $1M guaranteed.
• OL Matt Peart with the Broncos: 1 year, $1.3M with $367K guaranteed. It's a VSB contract.
Obviously none of these players were priced out. Not a surprise that Ward isn't back with Wink gone. Giants turning over their OL starters/depth.

That would be nice!

over the cap has Bredeson's contract qualifying and the Giants getting a 4th round pick.
That would be nice!
If the Giants sign no more qualifying FAs, I would expect Adoree to sign for at least $3 million, so they should get 2 4ths.
Will be interesting to see what they do. I'm not a comp picks are the be all end all type person, but two extra 4ths would be nice next year if they have to use some picks to trade up for a QB
The just did Dex and imo are going to have to do Thomas anyway so they missed out on the extra space.
This also tells me that Waller is gone. The Giants are probably going to announce that after the draft. That save $11 Mil.
The reason I would have done Thomas is it gives the extra money and if you dont use it, it goes back on next years cap anyway. I would have done Thomas 1st then Dex if needed.
