Giants have asked CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to take a significant pay cut from the $6.5m hes due in 2018, sources say. No final decisions made either way but DRC and the team are far apart at this point.
Clear another 6.5

Off the cap. I like DRC. But hes injury prone and just not worth it
Salary aside, where are you getting a corner as good or better?

Apple and Jenkins will be the starters, nickel will be a cheaper vet like Patrick Robinson or Jeremy Lane. Then add a 4th or 5th round pick as depth

Probably nowhere, but Cockwell was a huge find last year. There's players to be had out there. DRC is getting up there in age and probably isn't a factor beyond this year anyway
to clarify  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 3/10/2018 4:54 pm : link
DRC's base salary in 2018 is $6.48 million but his total cap hit is $8.5 million.

There are a few decent second tier CBs in free agency.

There are CB options in the draft.

Bottom line, DRC is about to turn 32 and the front office don't think he is worth his $8.5m cap number.

It would be great if they can trade him  
Milton : 3/10/2018 5:00 pm : link
Perhaps a team with a lot of cap room and extra picks on Day 3 will appreciate adding a veteran who can play both outside and inside.
He

Before you pencil in Apple as a starting CB, lets see if Apple actually shows up for work and/or Gettleman attempts to void his contract.
Not an unreasonable request  
Peppers : 3/10/2018 5:05 pm : link
considering the way the vet CB market is playing out right now..

Count me in the camp that wants DRC back but as Eric pointed out 8.5m cap is a bit much.
Releasing him would be dumb.  
robbieballs2003 : 3/10/2018 5:06 pm : link
You can trade him. There are a ton of teams with hige cap space that would want a CB like DRC for under $7 mil.
You have to think of roster building  
Dave on the UWS : 3/10/2018 5:07 pm : link
every player has been evaluated with respect to their production, health, salary etc. They obviously feel his current salary doesn't make sense in that context. He either takes a pay cut or is gone. It has nothing to do with other guys or past contributions. This is how they should operate. It also sends a message to people like JPP who under perform their contract.
Sounds like the Giants  
mrvax : 3/10/2018 5:08 pm : link
are serious about clearing some cap space. I'd bet we hear about Marshall soon.
This would be a terrible movd  
Big Rick in FL : 3/10/2018 5:08 pm : link
He's still a really really good CB.
Yea, we can't keep saying we can fill the position  
Simms11 : 3/10/2018 5:09 pm : link
in the draft with only five picks and many holes to fill. Free Agency will fill some and I would expect at least 2 Olinemen, 2 LBers and CB depth to be signed. We also need another punter and Kicker competition. Free Safety is also an area of need. This team has far too many hole right now. Maybe a trade down in the draft will net us ther picks we need to address some of these needs, as well.

They would only cut him if there are no takers.

Dave, JPP/Vernon might perform better if they didn't play nearly every snap.
I dont know  
rasbutant : 3/10/2018 5:10 pm : link
I feel like he could get 5-6.5 on the open market. Guess he needs to decide if he wants to move teams or if he likes it here. I hope they can work it out and he stays.

You can ask. His agent will laugh at you though. I don't believe either Manning has ever taken a pay cut or even a team-friendly deal to help the roster.
DRC at $3-4M plus incentives makes sense....  
MOOPS : 3/10/2018 5:19 pm : link
for both sides.
I have been saying a paycut or release for DRC  
Rjanyg : 3/10/2018 5:20 pm : link
He is good but a nickel CB is not in the field as much. The last game of the year I think DRC played half the game.

He is also going to be 32 years old this year. That is usually an age where corners begin to regress. Not unreasonable to shed his salary and try to find a cheaper, younger guy to replace him.

around when the team is ready to compete for a Superbowl again. Also wonder how much this has to do with whatever was wrong with the secondary last year. Teams can't wait to get rid of him for whatever reason. Does help next season though.

Yes. I like DRC and think he has talent. But he isn't one of the starting CB so I would cut him, sign Cockrell and maybe Robinson. Apple hopefully gets in line. Dixon played pretty well in the last few games. Jenkins is a stud. There maybe a CB DG likes in the 4th to 5th round in the draft.

Well... it helps that Brady's wife makes about 40 million a year more than Eli's wife. That kind of softens the blow for Brady.

And Montana? I think he retired the year that the NFL instituted the salary cap in 1994. I could be wrong, but Joe Montana didn't take any salary cut.
If  
AcidTest : 3/10/2018 5:59 pm : link
they're that far apart, then he's likely to be cut, unless they agree he can earn more through incentives.

This is the purging that everyone knows was coming. FA starts in a few days. Teams are clearing cap space. The Giants are no different, especially given how awful they were last year. DRC is a prime candidate to be cut. Marshall and Jerry are likely next.
Ugh.  
GiantTuff1 : 3/10/2018 6:07 pm : link
I can see the taking a slight pay cut but I really like DRC and I think this team could use him next year.

you act like Eli doesnt have a rich brother tho! he'd be okay if they knocked 10m off
