The Giants' cap space is at $9M, according to the NFLPA database. The signings of Dexter Lawrence and DeAndre Baker ate $3M in cap space. Daniel Jones and Oshane Ximines will eat another $4M when they sign, leaving the Giants with about $5M in their reserve fund for the season.
2) cut Rhett
NYG cap - ( New Window )

NO way they restructure Ogletree. He's going to probably get cut after this season, and they don't want accrue more costs to do so.
Rhett, is probably going to be cut, it seems like we have a couple of 2 way TEs that could replace him waiting to get in.

I agree with Rhett. If Conrad has some block in him, Rhett is expendable.
not so many super exciting FAs in 2020. They will be bid up.

Depth is key. Its how good teams stay good. If we can build a certain philosophy + culture, then reloading on the talent that fits is going to likely net better results than just getting the best guy available.
...still sucks.
But so what?
That'll change post-Eli.
For now, I'm just hoping our O-line lives up to just 1/10 the optimism generated on BBI. If that happens, Saquon Barkley is gonna be the worst nightmare for opposing defenses!

Better drafting will lead to fewer holes that have to be filled in free agency, particularly with average talent at premium prices.
In 2020, I'd like to see the Giants target a couple of free agents who could start (say, at ILB and FS), who will not doubt cost a lot, but then spend the bulk of their free agent cash to upgrade their depth across the board.
Maybe Tanney cut if they run two QBs. Would save us about 1 mil on the cap.

Rhett is not getting cut.
If Conrad is a player then SIMONSON is expendable. Ellison is a better blocker and receiver than Simonson. Not that Ellison was nearly the blocker we were told he was but he is good and he is a better receiver than advertised. Plus, Shurmer loves him. Ellison isnt going anywhere.

Ultimately it's DG's call. I actually think Simonson was the better blocker...
p.s.--Veteran cuts from other teams that sign on this late in the process usually sign for vet minimum. It's only the rare cap casualty that goes for anything significantly more than that and I don't think the Giants will be the landing spot. There may be some changes at the bottom of the roster, but like it or not, the 2019 starters will come from the group of talent currently on the roster.

so fair to say there will be a few more moves.
I don't think that's true. They can survive on $5M. I think $3M is the number you don't want to drop below. If you're running out of space come December due to guys landing on IR, there will be players whose deals can be restructured, but given that IR'ed players are generally replaced with rookies from the practice squad, it would take a lot of season ending injuries for that to happen.

A couple of the beats I listened to on a podcast recently - Dunleavy and Lombardo - speculated DG will make at least one more move to open up about 3 mil more cap space. They suggested Kareem Martin as a possible target if Golden, Carter, and the X-man look capable of handling all the edge snaps. To me that's dangerously thin at OLB/END, but what do I know?
Yup. Agreed.
Agreed. At this point it is not likely that there is going to be someone exceptional that is cut that we can't afford with the contingency budget and we will net some additional money if UDFA's knock veterans off of the roster because cap is just the Top 53 guys plus dead money.
One does not have to spend everything in their pocket, just because it is there.

How does that work?
Let's say the avail cap is 90 and 100mm 20/21. Assume they spend 40mm in 20 with the same cap spend in 21. So they don't spend 50mm in 2020. Is the avail cap now 110 in 2021?

Depending on who makes the team? I don't expect many vet cuts, but wonder about someone like Ellison, maybe Dixon?
Maybe Tanney cut if they run two QBs. Would save us about 1 mil on the cap.
Maybe keep Tanney and cut somebody else for more savings; if needed

There is a formula that calculates a percentage of the unused space, you don't get all of it. On top of that, there is a max amount you can roll over. I don't know the details though...
There is no max amount that can be rolled over. Teams can roll over what is left over at the end of the year. Whether that changes for the next CBA, who knows. But there is no roll over limit.
