He has roughly a 22 million cap hit next year. He has not played near the level of last year and is on his last year of the contract. The way I see it there's three options.
1-you can cut him and save about 12 million with 9 million dead money.
2-you can extend or restructure and lower this year's cap hit
3+ you can let him play out his last year
What do you think is the best option, a lot depends on how Aaron Robinson does and what the coaching staff thinks about him. I know they drafted him because they loved his ability to play Man coverage.
It’s a major decision for the Giants.
He's getting to that point where corners start hitting diminishing returns...
The cap is fluid. They might be up against it next year on paper, but they don’t have much commitment beyond that. Plus it’s gonna pop.
Love to see Robinson do well but he has missed most of the year already.
You can’t get rid of good players and expect to get better
I don’t think the cap is as dire as people think. I guess we will see. But it’s not even determined yet for next year. I don’t think we can spend next year but I don’t think we need to cut good players
it's almost like the problems are bigger than any single bad actor/scapegoat (gettleman, chris petit, chris mara, etc)
I also think Ryan and Shepard are players at risk of being cut.
The Giants have a lot of starters who are free agents — including 4/5 of starting offensive line.
The Giants got very cute the last few years to sign the players they have. Their is a lot of bonus money parked against next year’s cap.
But where? The Williams, Jackson and Golladay contracts are absolute cap crushers in 2022. And no one else gives much, if any, cap relief if cut.
Jackson is not that guy, Ryan is not that guy and the younger cb's on the roster now are not that guy.
Do you really want to make CB a need in the draft where we now choose a corner over another top offensive lineman?
Also I dont think Bradberry is having a down year I just dont think he's good at maintaining coverage for over 30 seconds straight every play. but that's just me
My solution: Draft a pass rusher and make Bradberry great again #MBGA
But I don't see that happening. Will be another hard push to try to squeeze out 7 wins.
Where exactly did anyone say anything close to this?
they have no QB. they have no OL. their talent on offense is consistently hurt (don't forget one of the knocks on toney was that he couldn't stay healthy in college).
this team should be looking to rebuild. trade saquon. trade bradberry if there is a taker. trade martinez if someone wants him. same with logan ryan. terps has said the following many times: the guys on this team now will not be on this team when its contending. get what you can and build through the draft.
the problem is if they bring judge back, he will be on a short leash so what the team should do won't be the same time table of the coach. and here we are in the same cylce over and over again.
the team will restructure whoever they can to compete next year
