To clarify the Scott Simonson "bookkeeping matter." Essentially, it's an accounting issue. Here's the explanation, per source: Simonson re-signed in February, so that technically qualified as an extension and therefore he wasn't eligible for a Minimum Salary Benefit contract

Simonson signed a one-year, $895K contract with a base salary of $805K, a $65K signing bonus and a $25K workout bonus. The full $895K counted against the cap. The Giants are releasing him and re-signing him to an MSB contract. He still gets $895K but cap charge drops to $735K

tl:dr Simonson isn't going anywhere and the Giants will save $160K against the cap.
Some of the questions by the dope reporters were Brutal. Just snide BS shit related to the Tate suspension. Kim Jones also had an idiotic question, but I can't remember off the top of my head what it was.
Shurmur's expression was priceless on a couple of those.
