Holding less than $600K in cap space going into the weekend, the Giants created some breathing room Saturday. They restructured James Bradberry‘s contract, Dan Duggan of The Athletic tweets.
The team created $2.7MM in cap room by redoing their top cornerback’s contract. This marks the second time this year the team has used the Bradberry pact to add funds. Big Blue created $4MM in cap space with its previous base-to-bonus conversion involving Bradberry’s contract.
While the Giants have made some personnel missteps under their current regime, the Bradberry contract has worked out. The Giants gave the former Dave Gettleman Panthers draftee a three-year, $43.5MM deal in March 2020. Bradberry made his first Pro Bowl last season and has four interceptions as a Giant.
The 28-year-old defender’s deal was already set to count $20.5MM on the Giants’ 2022 cap. That number will again rise. Given Bradberry’s performance and his high cap number next season, the Giants would seemingly stand to benefit from an extension that keeps their standout cover man in New York into the mid-2020s. New York also has Adoree’ Jackson set to count $15.5MM against the cap next season. The cornerbacks’ 2022 cap figures are third and fourth on the team — behind Leonard Williams and Kenny Golladay.
They should restructure Gentleman’s deal to zero. Because he’s done absolutely nothing!Mara should give back all the money he has made to the fans because he does nothing. The Giants will never win again under Dumb and Dumber !
I don’t understand what the Hell is going on. We had a great cap situation next year, then restructuring all these contracts put us into cap hell next year, NOW we add even more money onto next years cap with players we can’t cut because they will kill us in dead cap money! Dave, what are doing!
If teams had to actually abide by the cap and contracts, they would be out of business.
0-3 & only have $600K available shows what an horribly managed team they are.
So far, in 3 games Bradberry has sucked in coverage…..if he’s the top corner, you could realistically be looking at a 5-6 win season tops…..the G Men need to clean house and start over with talent evaluators who know what they’re doing and make the right choices.
5-6 wins??? What are you smokin’????…..
As has been said, one of the worst teams in the NFL, and they have salary cap problems…..beyond comprehension.
4 weeks I think until the trading deadline. I don’t care for “tanking” in MOST instances, but if there ever was a reason to, this is it. Trade everybody that you can get anything for…go from there. Enema the entire organization, starting of course with the GM. Judge? Nice guy, that’s about it. Neither the Tuna nor TC were especially “nice”.
