Originally it was a full $12M for Bradberry and Martinez $10M as roster bonuses.

Note: This was done a while ago. Has no direct correlation to signing Jadeveon Clowney or Markus Golden now.

and teams usually go into the season with a healthy contingency(approx $7-10M). I don't think this activity foreshadows any new Free Agent signings.

3 yr/50 million?30 guaranteed?

I would sign him for that in a second

First, he is a good player but not great. He has perhaps 2 seasons of good play left in him? Will he take another one year deal in hopes of perhaps landing one big payday? At 31?

I haven't kept up with the smaller signings and the dollar values -- both cap sites have the Giants at ~11M left -- sounds about right?

The Giants draft pool is ~12M. The 51 top salary cutoff right now would not include their picks in rounds 5-7. I get this wrong every year, good chance those picks don't count and rookie wages cost less?

If so the Giants are pretty close to even. I'd expect any moves to just allow for buffer going into the year.

The remaining space will be for post-draft veterans to fill gaps and training camp veterans, guys who possibly get cut due to salary and so forth. I don't doubt we see an ex-Cowboy or Patriot signed.

Only the top 51 contracts count against the cap. After the first 3 rounds, draft picks aren't likely to be in the top 51.

10 for draft, maybe a couple more if they trade down.

4 UDFA, a little less due to extra 7 rders

So assume room for 3 to 4 more FA

With the Fackrell signing.
