Giants released Nate Stupar

Thank god! He’s a waste of a roster spot.

I'm hoping its corn elder bc I think it's only a matter of time until someone swipes him.

Giants have released Nate Stupar, which screams a potential practice squad activation tomorrow.

My guess is C.J. Conrad gets the call up

....

but he misses a lot of tackles when playing defense. Not much better than a cone..

FWIW. Learned that the other day.

Maybe he's the replacement.

Hopefully, next year....they can chose and make cuts from only NFL caliber players.

Yea, I'm guessing Mayo looked good in practice this week and someone is available that they want to add elsewhere.

I'll guess a DL since its the one position on the roster that is obviously lacking some depth.

add $225K to our big dead money pool and saves $510K against this years cap. Of course, he has to be replaced with someone else's salary. (OTC)

is already on the 53

They're the same player. Totally redundat to keep both.

Conrad, you think? Hmm, I don't see that with us already carrying 4 TEs. I think it's a DL, either Jenkins or Slayton.

Mayo is a better Stupar basically. And now they are allocating the roster spot to something else of interest.

also. Slayton promoted as backup NT maybe.

Yes, but Mayo gave them 9 LBs (5 ILBs) and so if he outperformed Stupar in practice this week (for whatever 3 days are worth) then Stupar became superfluous and the 53rd man for when they needed extra depth elsewhere.

Jenkins signed with Miami.

Ah duh, Jenkins not even on the practice squad, that was a dumb typo lol. I meant the DE they have on the PS, Freedom... what's his last name again? Amalakookaboolahmalamala or something lol.

He was always likely to replace Stupar, not Goodson.

Coach McGaughey got his guy. Here’s hoping he and Gettleman remember Mayo accurately, not through rose-tinted Carolina glasses.

It's not like he has big shoes to fill...

So he's got that going for him...which is nice.

Is probably dressing this Sunday and playing a key specials role.

gets called up.
Gives them more of a rotation to keep the DL fresh against that Oline and running game.

Our roster isn’t quite there yet, but one thing this regime isnt afraid to do it replace guys who can’t cut it

Is NYG at 51 or 52 now?

$135K of that provisional dead money (the salary guarantee part) might get offset if he manages to catch on with another team for a few weeks during the season.

For now, if Stupar's roster spot goes to a rookie like Slayton, there will be a small net savings. If the replacement is a young vet like Elder, or another vested vet on a qualifying minimum deal, there will be a small cap hit because of Stupar's salary guarantee (assuming he doesn't catch on elsewhere later in the year).

Either way, these are not numbers that have much impact, even for a team that is up against the cap. The Giants can easily free a bit of space if they need to. Also, keep in mind that the Giants probably didn't pay Mayo any bonus at all; the 49ers guaranteed him $1.15MM, although they will probably wiggle out of about two-thirds of that commitments because of offsets from his NYG salary, which will become guaranteed tomorrow.

I’d started a thread on ‘surprise cuts’ - I said they’d keep Taufeua (so) over Goodson and Stupar. And it came true, even if Taufeua is on the PS.

he wasn't drafted by DG!

....Saints message boards were kinda pissed that he got cut last year and thought the Saints would regret it.

He's all yours, guys!

Well, no. They kept Davis and Connelly - and acquired Mayo - over Goodson and Stupar. The Giants "kept" Tauaefa like Dorian "hit" Alabama. ;o)

on the numbers ... but only a guess.

As the full year salary.will be paid

I think it is that he can't tackle, but whatever...

That there are no plans to fill the vacancy this week, which leads me to believe they have a veteran that they wanna bring in for a workout after Monday. If they sign a vet after the cowboy game the salary is not guaranteed.

George: Are you referring to Mayo, or the subsequent addition that takes Stupar's roster spot? Neither is likely to be a big deal. Mayo will be paid for the full year, but will probably qualify for the minimum salary benefit - in which case the only possible cap impact of swapping those LBs is Stupar's small salary guarantee. The newer new guy could be anyone, and his salary could be anything from $495K to, well, whatever.

I meant, it is a big deal for the player.

As they will get a NFL salary for the year.

Did not mean...cap related.

... and sign a vested veteran to a qualifying minimum contract for the remaining sixteen weeks, the cap hit for his salary will be about $607K. That's 16/17ths of the minimum salary for a player with two years of credited tenure.

I get that it didn’t happen exactly the way I predicted, but I wasn’t that far off.

I would like that

He kept getting better and better, every game he played, while Stupar's performance went down hill

Hold my beer. A week ago, after the 49ers released Mayo, I predicted that the Giants would sign him and that he would replace Stupar.

is emphasizing the TE and one of the three TEs on the roster - Garrett Dickerson is dinged - then Conrad would be the likely choice to elevate from the practice squad.

If the idea is to sign an experienced pass covering lb to replace Stupar then Brandon Marshall may still be available...

There are four TE's on the roster. Ellison, Engram, Dickerson, and the new guy, the ex-Jet.

Be Marshall on Monday.

and hold the mayo...

a veteran signing on Monday.

But I don't see that being realistic for any of the "names" out there since the Giants have no cap room unless that signing comes with another move like a veteran cut (not league min) or a restructure.
