Salary cap expected to go up to $208M for 2022

I don’t know what this means for the Giants having dipped into future years, but hopefully gives the new GM a bit more flexibility.

They knew it would, which is why these moves were made.

Good news in an otherwise unremarkable season.

At a 208M cap the Giants would enter the offseason with 3M or less in practical space.

The Giants will make some tough cuts and have to restructure money into future years to operate next year.
What level do you think the cap needs to hit in order

Off-season after this one should be a lot better for us though right?

Is it? They still only have $3 million in cap space next year for a roster that needs a ton of help. Who are they cutting?

They should have $93 million assuming Barkley and Jones are gone, but not counting adding two top 5 potential picks to the roster this year.
Per Spotrac the Giants have $207mm in active contracts  
cosmicj : 12/5/2021 9:30 am : link
In 2022. That $208mm is actually below some of the estimates I’ve seen, so it doesn’t really qualify as news and certainly doesn’t add any breathing room to the Giants’ utterly f****** 2022 situation.

Barkley and Jones combined count for $15.5m against the 2022 cap. Not sure how cutting them would free up 90m.....

Bradberry is the most likely candidate for a cut (or extension). He is on the last year of his contract and the Giants can save $12m by cutting him alone. Martinez is another target since he is on his last year.

This organization has much bigger problems right now other than the cap. Hopefully they don't make long term commitments to DJ & SB.

Dixon being cut save $3 mill

is coming back, he’s got his work cut out for him and who ever the next GM is too.

They can’t go into next year without making some possible hard cuts but many have high dead cap numbers. Shepard and Martinez come immediately to mind.

It’s why decisions may be needed on reset and pivot from Jones and Barkley sooner than some here want or believe.

I think this site is going to explode

They agreed to a 208 million ceiling in May with no floor. Even though it doesn't help the Giants much next year, going the full 2008 is a lot better than if they choose to not go all the way to the ceiling.

The Giants have a complicated financial outlook over the next two years.

They have 29 UFAs next year, including 4 of the 5 starters on the offensive line. They’ll also presumably need to sign two top 10, and several top 100 draft picks.

The two most intriguing players are:

1) Is Bradberry ready to play ball and extend?

2) Will the Giants let Martinez play out his current deal?
