Did the Giants only have 50 Players on Roster for Bucs Game?

I noticed yesterday OTC only had 50 active contracts listed for the Giants. I thought that was odd.

This is total Mismagement. DG has to account for this. Team is setup

to fail going into a game with only 50 players. And we are only in week 10!!!! Wow, No wonder the players looked depressed before kickoff yesterday.

Is this an example of how the Giants are good with the cap?

sb from NYT Forum : 11/23/2021 1:02 pm : link

...and how the cap doesn't matter?

Not sure but

I would be lying if I said I was surprised.

So would all of you...

This is DG greatest sin. No team is going to win

a professional football game with only 50 players..Albeit some of those 50 came off the street. Paying all that guarateed money in agust and september screwed this team and the players know it.

Yes, they purposefully carry a less than full roster

Dugan mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. To stay under the cap, they are short players on their roster. A 3-7 team, with a rookie contract QB, is so cap strapped, we can't have a full roster. And we have a bunch of guys, like Golladay and Bradbury, who will have their contract numbers explode next year

wow Blue, There is no way in hell a team can win with 50 players

The players know they are defeated before they take the field. This is all on the GM. So the Marquee players get paid millions and are just show pieces on a double digit losing team.

Every one of these players making over 5 million a year should be cut at end of season. There is no way to justify a dougle digit loss season that is going to happen

To me, This is the biggest story in football playing only 50 players

Kind of like Hoosiers movie when Gene Hackman played with 4 players and said "That's my Team" < This is what DG is doing.

This guy needs to be released

You can only dress

46, so who cares?

But we're in great cap shape for 2023!

What a disaster. I had been fine with letting DG walk off into retirement, but he has fucked this organization so badly it's almost like it's intentional. He should be frogmarched out today.

Well they've had

a second FB and Ebner on the roster all year, so they've effectively been playing shorthanded the entire time.

Great job by our cap guru Abrams

who is talked up by many as a future GM candidate for NYG

You can only dress 46 so who cares

Are you guys kidding? Every week is about match-ups, health, and having the most options to put the best 46 on the field that week.

Losing a roster spot because you can’t afford even a vet minimum player is embarrassing.

I thought Judge admitted that about the previous game too.

On the bright side, the desperate cap situation should make it easier…

… to decline the 2023 option on Daniel Jones. We’ll need the 20-something million to cover the dead money on Golladay, Williams, Shepard, Ryan, and Jackson.

If you cannot match up with your top 46, why would you worry about the bottom 7?

Lol

of all the things to be pissed about, this? 46 players can dress from 53, and there can be up to 16 players on the practice squad. At times there are going to be less than the maximum amount of players on the active roster. It's not like they went into the game undermanned.

I really didn't think I could get any more depressed about the state of this team but that is the most pathetic, embarrassing piece of information that I've ever seen connected to this team.

For reference

AJ23 : 11/23/2021 3:27 pm : link

52: Cowboys, Cardinals, Dolphins, Bengals, Browns, 49ers, Chargers, Vikings
51: Falcons, Jaguars, Steelers, Titans, Bucs, Seahawks
50: Giants

Logan Ryan, who was a late nix, did not count with his COVID-19 designation
