Rosenblatt: Giants now over the 2021 cap due to escalators

Vin_Cuccs : 1/21/2021 11:02 am
In 2021, that applies to four Giants players, with their cap hit increase noted:

- G Will Hernandez: From $2.37 million to $3.05 million

- EDGE Lorenzo Carter: From $1.299 million to $2.44 million

- DT B.J. Hill: From $1.28 million to $2.44 million

- CB Isaac Yiadom: From $954,250 to $2.18 million

This is such a dumb take, IDK why I am replying.

You realize that BJ Hill might be why the Giants can alliw Tomlinson (or Williams) to leave if they can't agree to future terms?

And you can't absolutely can't count injuries fairly against any draft pick.

Is Dak Prescott now a lousy 4th round pick?

You really need to take a closer look at Reese's and Ross's drafting to gain some perspective IMO.

Vin, I believe the Giants must have known something about Nate Solder's plan going forward when they signed Ryan to a double digit AAV deal. Again, Pat Traina said she believes Solder plans to retire.

Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Quote:
The NFL's cap is a hard cap that the teams have to stay under at all times, and the salary floor is also a hard floor. Penalties for violating or circumventing the cap regulations include fines of up to $5 million for each violation, cancellation of contracts and/or loss of draft picks. Violating the salary floor regulations does not result in any fines or competitive penalties; instead, deficiencies are placed into a pool and distributed among all players who were on the regular roster of the offending team during a four-year floor cycle, prorated according to time on the roster in said period.

The best thing for Giants would be to designate him a post June 1st cut rather than a retirement, as it'd move a portion of the bonus into the following year.

I don't think we can do both of these things now, so I pose this question...

What's more important - re-signing LW or getting serious offensive upgrades for DJones, who plays the more critical position?
Don’t get too crazy about this  
BillT : 1/21/2021 11:23 am : link
Abrams is excellent at the cap and I an sure they knew this was going to happen and they have a plan. We will clear adequate cap space for FA and the draft but I don’t think it won’t be as much as last year.

I’d say resigning LW. He was great this year and you are already devoid of edge rushers yet he helped make the D still rank in the top 15 in sacks. So losing him and still not having a solid edge rusher would be a major hit to the D.

Say good bye to Tomlinson

I try and keep the defense intact, as much as possible. Keep that unit strong. I was even in the camp that would take Surtain in the first round of the draft, and focus on offense with our remaining picks.

With this information, I would resign big Leo, go bargain hunting on offensive weapons, and focus the draft (at least first 2-3 rounds) on offense.

I understand the idea that you get as many (proven) weapons for DJ as possible for him to succeed. However, at some point, your quarterback has to elevate those around him. If DJ can't do that with some mid-level free agents and some top level draft talent, he may not be the guy for us long term.
Silly question  
SLIM_ : 1/21/2021 11:30 am : link
I think you can say that Hernandez,Carter and Hill have underperformed to this point. If they reached accelerators with only Hernandez being the only close to full time starter, isn't it reasonable to think that most other teams are in the same situation?
Yeah, most pertinent part of that article doesn't show up

They’ll get some of that money back when they get around $4.8 million in rollover cap from 2020 applied to their 2021 cap sheet. They also can clear out significant cap space by cutting players like Golden Tate, Nate Solder, Levine Toilolo and others, as well as extending/restructuring other players such as James Bradberry, Kevin Zeitler or Jabrill Peppers.

This isn’t necessarily true. Let this play out. There is more to come and no one here can predict what that us.
I'm trying to find the poll..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/21/2021 11:34 am : link
and I'll post it if I can find it. It was from Bleacher Report or some group like that regarding the cap.

It asked what was the best cap situation
1) Being $10M over the cap
2) Being $10M under the cap
3) Being $40M under the cap
4) Being $80M under the cap

The results were predictable - they went in order of 4,3,2,1.

Less than 20% chose 2.

Ignorance is thinking that we are going after all these big name Free Agents when we don’t have any space. Cutting a few guys might lead us to re-sign Williams but not much more.

*QB on rookie deal

*Star RB on rookie deal

*the worst set of WRs in the NFL with no star power. #1 WR a 5th round pick on rookie deal

*only TE of note is on rookie deal

*Young OL with a bunch of cost controlled players other than Solder

*The 2 great DL we have are both UFA so are not part of that cap number

*We have 1 somewhat expensive LB - Martinez

*We have 2 somewhat expensive DBs - Braberry & Ryan. the rest are on rookie deals or bargain bin

The team is devoid of talent everywhere and needs frontline talent at almost every position group.

And we're over the cap. Unreal.

Who is thinking we're going after a bunch of big name FA's?? Where are these calls for signing a bunch of high-ticket guys?

We'll have the cap space to sign LW, and either Tomlinson or a mid-high target in FA. And probably enough for 3-4 low-mid signings. Then we'll have enough cap for the salaries and draftees. We'll do some cuts and restructures that will give us the room.

When all nets out, we'll likely be in the $7M range under the cap.

I’m a die hard fan, but some of you need to realize that we are in no position to be spending big this offseason, when the salary cap decreased 23 million dollars. We need to release the bloated contracts and build on what we currently have. Hopefully these young guys can improve and we can compete next season.

But they will work out his retirement declaration timing to benefit the team to spread the dead cap hit over 2021 and '22, as Christian and others have outlined many times.

Which will result in ~10 mil savings vs the 2021 cap.

Ryan cut into it when they signed the deal. It was known then and I a certain OTC adjusted and I think they went from $13 or $17 mill down to $7 after that.
Of course we do not know the true numbers, just what OTC or Sportrac tell us.

This is a good post (if accurate).

Couple of points to note, that star RB on his rookie deal is a very expensive rookie. In fact, would be surprised if Giants aren't way up there on cost for the whole RB corps versus the rest of the league. RG Zietler is costly too on the OL. Is that true both Williams and Tomlinson are not part of those numbers?

This franchise really should think about rebuilding differently.

Well, now you are speaking my language of what a high QB selection should do.

But I just don't think he has that in him. He's trending much closer to a game manager type.
