clearly salary and cap hit way too high for 2023...would have thought that restructure and pay cut would have been done by now....wonder if there is a stalemate...or just not on the front burner
His current cap reflects favors he did for the org last year (restructure). His $18 mil salary this year is high, but reasonable. My guess is that he has several more good years left and he’d prefer to spend them in NY alongside Dex and enjoy the resurgence of Giants football. 2-3 year extension at slightly lower salaries in return for guarantees. Win-win.
I think we'd like to get through the season without extending the deal at all. Clear the full cap hit this year and then decide whether we can/should keep him for 2024 and beyond. But that's not realistic.
My guess is that it's the last move we want to make to clear cap space, but if we need space and aren't making headway with Saquon and Dexy, we gotta do what we gotta do.
and Phil is right. 18 Mil for a DT who plays every week at a high level is about right in todays NFL. I hope he stays he seems like a leader on and off the field. Hopefully they get the contract extension done. The same is true for Adoree Jackson.
and they are waiting to pull the trigger on it. Chances are they are ear marking those savings to pay the draft class. They dont need to execute until they are going to spend the money.
Exactly. If they don't restructure him it shows that he'll most likely be gone after this season.

I wonder if talking a A-Shawn is a contingency discussion
Wouldn't be surprised. He certainly hasn't played up to his contract year (2020) level of performance, that's for sure.
This is my suspicion as well. I think they'll be looking for his replacement early in the draft
