That's pretty cool.



So we're 30m under cap? I'm not familiar with how cap room works.

I remembered you explained it well last year, anty. But now pictures and numbers look different.

The Giants have a lot of work to do with their roster in 2014. How much money does general manager Jerry Reese have to work with?

A decent amount, even with 27 free agents to contemplate. According to my estimated calculations (granted all the salary cap rules are too much for my little brain to handle so this is simply one man's estimation), the Giants have $101,688,010 accounted for against the salary cap next season.

That's not including four restricted free agents (Jim Cordle, Mark Herzlich, Spencer Paysinger and Henry Hynoski) who are likely to be tendered contracts. It's not including offensive lineman Chris Snee either. Snee is almost certain to be released because of his unreasonable $11.75 million cap number.

So with the estimated 2014 NFL salary cap at $126.3 million, the Giants are left with almost $20 million to spend. (Note: The Giants could also free up millions more by signing quarterback Eli Manning and safety Antrel Rolle to new deals.)

Here's the money the Giants have accounted for in '14 so far, not including the inevitably voidable contracts of tight end Brandon Myers and cornerback Corey Webster:


1. Eli Manning $20.4 M
2. Antrel Rolle $9.25M
3. David Baas $8.225M
4. Victor Cruz $7.424M
5. Will Beatty $7.4 M
6. Mathias Kiwanuka $7.05M
7. Jason Pierre-Paul $3.561
8. Steve Weatherford $2.925M
9. Prince Amukamara $2,603,013
10. Cullen Jenkins $2.45M
11. Justin Pugh $1,896,795
12. David Wilson $1,823,046
13. Zak DeOssie $1,150,000
14. Johnathan Hankins $916,068
15. Rueben Randle $897,799
16. Jarrel Jernigan $813,813
17. James Brewer $758,023
18. John Conner $740,000
19. Daniel Fells $730,000
20. Jayron Hosley $706,250
21. Adrien Robinson $666,413
22. Jacquian Williams $664,670
23. Damontre Moore $658,813
24. Brandon Mosley $645,146
25. Spencer Adkins $645,000
26. Troy Kropog $645,000
27. Ryan Nassib $608,400
28. Markus Kuhn $581,474
29. Allen Bradford $570,000
30. Kris Adams $570,000
31. Will Hill $570,000
32. Marcus Dowtin $570,000
33. Preston Parker $570,000
34. Cooper Taylor $541,813
35. Michael Cox $506,474
36. Larry Donnell $495,000
37. Charles James $495,000
38. Stephen Goodin $495,000
39. Julian Talley $420,000
40. Kendrick Adams $420,000
41. Steven Baker $420,000
42. Kendall Gaskins $420,000
43. Marcus Harris $420,000

47. Chaz Powell $420,000
48. Ross Weaver $420,000
49. Brandon McManus $420,000

Total cap number for players: $96,838,010
Dead money from cutting Snee: $4.5 million
Estimated dead money from pre-'14: $350,000

Total: $101,688,010

Nice, that's plenty of room for us to work with.

So anty, any input on draft, FA, anything else?

I miss you posting lots of info, articles and stuff here.

For the draft.. no real order:

Darqueze Dennard - CB ... just hope Detroit doesn't grab him before we pick
Justin Gilbert - CB
Anthony Barr - OLB ... probably won't be there when we pick
Khalil Mack - OLB
C.J. Mosley - OLB
Greg Robinson - OT
Zach Martin - OT

Maybe Jace Amaro or Eric Ebron both TE's. Not sure if we would pick a TE at 12 though. Even though we DESPERATELY need a TE, I'd rather us go a different direction.

What's story on Myers? Maybe McAdoo can work with him??

And your drafts, I like it and maybe DT in late pick? They're usually safe pick.

Myers is trash and a goner, his contract was set up to be voided, thank God.

We could possibly pick a DT at #12 Aaron Donald

Myers was pretty good with raiders, he just failed in Gilbride's offense.

He was terrible with the Raiders. He got garbage time stats in blowouts and in the 4th Q with little time left. He sucks. He can't get separation and he's slower than Hillis. Which is saying a lot because Hillis looks like he's running in slow-motion. Hillis was actually productive for us though despite his lack of speed.

You sure hyped him up when we first signed him, you was excited as hell.

Now you turned the table around and shit on him lol.
