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

It may not mean everything but it certainly means something.

Yes, its okay to try and max out cap usage in a year. Netting 6 total wins as the result of that effort should be telling the front office something.

*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.



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.


Also wild that this time last year, many of us were looking to get rid of Zeitler in favor of Hernandez. How Hernandez has fallen from grace. Maybe a topic for a different thread, but I wonder if a new OL coach may be able to straighten him out.

You cut Zeitler and it gives us 12 million.

That’s 24 million to sign Williams, a few low level FA, and our draft picks. I don’t know who else you cut to make space. Maybe Engram and his 6 million but then you have a hole at TE.

If they want to defer some of the cap hit, they can cut Solder June 1. This would save the Giants about $10m on the 2021 cap, but push $4m of dead-cap to the 2022 cap.

One way to resign Tomlinson despite the reduced 2021 cap  
cosmicj : 1/21/2021 12:28 pm : link
Is by guaranteeing several years of base salary, with a fairly stingy 2021 salary and signing bonus. This would lead to a pretty inexpensive 2021 cap impact while giving DT a market rate guaranteed dollar amount.

And to think we are going through this with a rookie QB contract! Complete GM incompetence.

Archer : 1/21/2021 12:38 pm : link
The NFL has a soft CAP in that contracts can be made team favorable

The Giants have to determine which players they want to keep, who they are going to release, who they will extend, and who they want to sign

What helps the Giants is that they do not have many long term contracts Therefore they can extend out players

Teams that have problems are teams substantially over the CAP and have long term backloaded contracts

It is more about how much cash you spend and the size of bonuses
The Cowboys are an example of team that kicks the can down the road They extend contracts and spend a lot of actual cash by giving large bonuses that are prorated over the length of the contract

No - it should not be a slamdunk. It wasn't for Joseph. For Cofield. For Hankins. It's actually one of the positions we are deep enough at that we don't have to allot a lot of $$ to him.

After cuts we should have maybe 30-35 million to sign Williams, and mid level FA, a couple of low level FA , and our draft picks.

Maybe the only thing Abrams is good at is the cap. Once Judge and Dave cut some dead wood, cap space will be created. Then the 2021 roster will be molded. If it doesn’t work out, Dave gets kicked to the curb. It’s January 21. Relax.

Before eberyone flips out why not wait until they actually set the cap. The floor is $175 million but there is a very good chance it will be higher based on article below:

The negotiations that allowed the 2020 season to proceed included a commitment that the 2021 salary cap will be no lower than $175 million per team. The upcoming negotiations (and it’s negotiated every year) regarding the 2021 salary cap could result in a number significantly higher than $175 million.

Per a league source, the possibility that stadiums will be full for the 2021 season could prompt the league to not tie the hands of teams by dropping the salary cap by more than $23 million per team, from $198.2 million. Although the 2020 season will indeed result in lower revenue than usual, the potential of a return to something normal or close to it plus the coming TV deals may result in the league keeping the cap in the range of $195 million.

Time will tell what the league chooses to do. Although a projected cap typically is shared with all owners in December, the final decision isn’t made until late February or early March, through negotiations with the NFL Players Association. By then, the league will know more about whether the vaccine is being distributed and working properly, setting the stage for coffers being restored via ticket revenue in 2021.

The losses from 2020 will still be absorbed at some point. However, most teams won’t want to tie their hands next year with a dramatically reduced cap. Pushing losses to future years also helps players by reducing the possibility of the widespread termination of veteran contracts.

It's why I advocate for getting lean while you're rebuilding, and being very careful about going big in UFA. It just doesn't compute, at some point it's going to bite you on the arse.

If LW were tagged again - which would be a disastrous outcome - the tag value as his second tag would be unaffected by both the cap and the top 5 average. It would be 120% of his 2020 salary.

It's not a move we should be hoping for in any circumstance.

The Giants as do all teams, have to adjust to the impact of Covid on revenue, and therefore the cap over at least the next two years. This isn't a surprise or a non-factor.

But not being under the 2021 projected cap in January is not an emergency or a tragedy.

The Giants have a number of safe levers to pull to get under even the negotiated cap floor of 175M.

One of the things that led to Reese's downfall was having to burn a series of 2nd round picks to continue to replace DTs that he let walk rather than keeping even one of them, which would have allowed him to use that premium pick to reinforce the roster elsewhere.

I get that you just love to defend the front office's status quo. But you're wrong.

Spot on - the tender for Williams is ~19M (120% of his 2020 salary).

For many practical reasons, this is a bad idea.

Logically, it's also sensibility offending. The components of his 2020 tender were built from variables based on the 2020 cap (198M).

The 120% escalator in part is a way to protect the player's relative value against a rising cap.

But now the Giants would be the victims of an equation designed for a rising cap, in a year the cap is going down.

Well thought out post.

Applying the franchise tag a second time on Williams at that salary level and getting no control over his services going forward is almost pure lunacy. At some point there has to be a meeting of the minds between these parties otherwise these just seem like taking bullets to the chest each year.

If the NY Giants were a slam-dunk playoff contender for 2021 and Williams was the piece that the front office felt could put them over the top to win it all, then there might be more justification for the short term decision. But that isn't the case, so applying the tag again would just be extending what has been a dicey execution strategy from the start with this talented defensive lineman.

The good news?

This is a dumb thread. The Giants can create 40 mil in cap space quite easily if they show choose. Some current contracts will have to be backloaded and possible extended such as Martinez and Bradberry. Players cut like Tate Solder and you can use the june 1 cap on Solder to split the dead money. You can back load Williams contract by using a signing bonus and guaranteeing future years like they did with Bradberry and Martinez. I would extend Zeitler or you can cut him as well. DG knows how to do this but its up to ownership to okay it.

I don’t care because we have pros who know how to sign/re-sign/extend as well as push money out as necessary..There will not be cap hell, imv..


The Giants problem has not been cap management per se, but more so resource allocation and veteran player analysis.

In two offseasons (18/19), the Giants added maybe one good veteran players (Zeitler).

That they can now wiggle out of those deals is a moral victory on the spreadsheet, but wasn't that inspiring on the field.
