Just rip the band aid off. Cant have him affect the 2022 cap.
^This.
If they plan on cutting Solder then he may save more than $2 mil as a June 1st cut. Also, does that distinction need to be made at the time of the cut or can they wait the decide that?
It can be one of two things. Post June cut would kick the can down the road and it’s possible they’d rather not have Tates contract effecting next years cap. Post June spreads the cap hit out over two seasons. That may not be ideal to them.
The other thing is that I think two players can be designated post June cuts, regardless of when they are released. So it’s possible they still go that route. No need to wait until June
Right from the start with a 4 game PED suspension.
I didn't mind the signing initially. As soon as that suspension came, he completely lost me. And, his excuse was not only hard to believe, but it is also hard to believe the Giants didn't know.

Tate was a no-brainer. Terrible signing in every way. Frees up $6.1M in cap savings (with $4.7M in dead money). Additional benefit: Frees up Sterling Shepard to get back to primarily playing in the slot

Very important, IMO. I know Shep wants to play on the outside, but I'm sorry, he sucked. Let him be in the slot and use his route-running skills there. Keep Slayton on the outside and draft/sign a #1 WR for the outside, preferably a big-bodied one.

Bingo.
I could be wrong, but they could've cut Golden Tate last offseason

So they cut him today, but why is there any dead cap hit for the following season? I thought that was only if it’s a post June 1 cut? Link - ( New Window )
Is it a pre or post June 1 cut?
Stewart.
Omameh.
Ogletree.
Solder.
Tate.
Toilolo.

Tate gone and I think this will be Sheppard's last season as well.
Just rip the band aid off. Cant have him affect the 2022 cap.

They need to clear cap space now to sign Free Agents, to include LWill.
+1
Later, Golden
I guess they could designate him as a Post-June 1st cut
None, you draft a guy.

I guess that makes sense, need more money this year. A lot more

That only affected guaranteed money in his deal, I believe.

Ah, that might've been it

We're getting pretty close to the entire 2018 and 2019 classes getting wiped.
Under appreciated problem -- a GM who cut has teeth as a pro player personnel guy swinging and missing at 2 years worth of veteran acquisitions.
Good luck to him but it was a needed move.
They already had a good slot (Shep). He did make some plays I appreciate that.
