It can always get worse. Giants won’t field a full roster.

Bold Ruler : Mod : 1/8/2022 4:57 pm
The Giants will play tomorrow with four open roster slots. They don’t have enough cap space to sign anyone to the roster.
Perfect ending

They can’t dress everyone anyway. Why waste money/ future cap?
Maybe take the 4 fans who show up and put them in uniform

this is all part of the foundation for next year that Abrams and Judge worked on.

Well done!

The lack of cap space has zero to do with cap mgmt and everything to do with being involved with a meaningless game.

Exactly true. Also the practice squad rules this year allow for extra flexability.
No big deal

AcidTest : 1/8/2022 6:24 pm : link
yet the team denies it is a "clown show."

Part of the definition of "clown show" is not being able to field a full roster on game day because of how badly you've mangled the salary cap.
Less guys for Judge...

Shoot, why even pay the extra 7 players? Just roll with 46. No need to pay guys who won't play.

You don't see anything wrong with a team this low on talent bring so tight against the cap that they can't even field a full roster? It's beyond pitiful.
This reminds me of the biggest loss in football history  
cosmicj : 1/8/2022 6:54 pm : link
Georgia Tech 222 Cumberland 0 in 1916. Cumberland’s non-team played much of the game with fewer than 11 players on the field.

Judge needs to try this. Think outside the box.

Lol of course I do… I’ve had all year to be upset at thr cap and talent situation, but I also recognize how pointless it would be to sign 2 guys days before week 18 just to be inactive

That’s Mara tomorrow since we can’t even fill a roster.

They can field a full roster. They'll have the full 46 tomorrow. They'll just have 51 total instead of 53, so will have 5 inactives instead of the usual 7. Sure, it's embarrassing that they're out of cap space despite having a terrible team, but we've known the team's been tight on cap space all year. The specifics of not promoting two additional guys just to have them inactive is meaningless.
