The giant caps space for next year is third worst in the league
possible targets/savings
Solder salary 18 dead money 4 gone
Shepherd salary 12.5 dead money 7.8 likely gone (health not
performance)
Rudolph salary 7.2 dead money 2.25 likely gone
X man salary 1.2 dead money 202,000 gone
Martinez and Bradbury have big numbers but cutting them would create more holes to fill.
Not a pretty picture
Improvement will have to come from return of injured players and the draft
We might need to package picks this year for picks in 2023 when we will have more cap space to really do something with the picks. UGH>
The money is in the banana stand.
nothing for cutting Solder (should do it anyway)
5 for cutting Rudolph
4.5 for Shep
~1 mil for Ximines
3.25 for Dixon
~ 1 mil for Wes Martin (who?)
Those moves combined bring them to 18mil.
As an example, as part of the restructuring, Solder’s 2022 was voided. He will cost the 4M of amortized bonus, in dead money.
Always refer to OTC for more accurate cap information on the Giants.
Part of JJ ‘ building a team’ was to clone BB: young players, extra picks, flipping players as necessary with no loyalty.
The 20, 21, and 22 draft picks will play. If J J is gone, and likely DG as well, the new GM will run with that philosophy. There is a nice, small core of players to start with, hopefully Robinson , Williams nudging moving on fro Bradbury or Jackson and their contracts, Smith an adequate+ ER, and a WR to move on from KG and HIS contract.
