New York Giants Salary Cap and Front Office Management Analysis.

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

My Plan for New York Giants in 2022 @Giants
=========================

Let’s start by what is certain

-NYG has the #5 Draft pick. 11 total draft picks including 2 firsts(#5 & #7) and 2 thirds
-My projections of -$8,860,965.72 in cap space on 3/16 & -$22,207,287.72 for the season

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

I’ll start the new year with this: DeVito should be playing

Tyrod played a good game on Sunday. But he isn’t the future and is a free agent at the end of the season

Even if unlikely, let DeVito get some reps and see if he can be part of the future

Hey Giants Twitter, I’ll be making my return to being active on here. Life got in the way but excited to talk Giants football with y’all.

This season was definitely tough. Fire up any questions for me.

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@Jason_OTC Why does Deandre Baker have $190k in dead cap for the NY Giants?

Appreciate your work. Thank you!

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@clt_ny I don’t think your number of ~$4.33m is far off but there’s a number of factors involved

The $6.46mil is also outdated as NFLPA hasn’t updated in a bit(that I’ve noticed). Not much has changed since then though. I could’ve missed it but did the rest of rookies sign?

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@clt_ny Take that away from PS salary of $11,500 & you get $29,971

But that’s for a player with 0 credited seasons. There will also be permanent PS callups who get replaced on PS so savings differs

However if I remember right NYG(and other teams) had less than 53 at times to save $$

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

How’s the form @EliManning

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

Curious to see where the true numbers end up at. Either way, it’s a boost to the Safety market

McKinney isn’t in this range yet in the safety market, but he is eligible to be extended after this season. Safety market certainly got a boost here

Steelers, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick agree to terms on a 4-year deal worth $73.6 million, including $36 million guaranteed. (via @RapSheet)

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

Cutting Brunson creates $20,488 in dead money for 2022. In addition, since the move is after June 1st, Brunson's 2023 signing bonus is charged to 2023. Brunson will account for $20,488 in dead money in 2023

No cap effect with this move, as the #51 player has a cap hit of $895k

[New York Giants @Giants]

We have signed WR Keelan Doss and waived T.J. Brunson

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

NYG tied for first in the NFL with 7 full time analytics staffers

Impressive turnaround from the last regime

Long overdue update to the NFL analytics staffer chart!

As always, this is to the best of my understanding based on both what teams list and conversations with analytics folks around the league.

[Dan Duggan @DDuggan21]

Interesting nugget. Giants have three unsigned draft picks: Second-rounder Wan’Dale Robinson and fourth-rounders Daniel Bellinger and Dane Belton. In line with league-wide trend

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@Bull41461712 @clt_ny That’s a fair point and I’d say the strongest point for a QB2 with this team

It’s definitely been tough to evaluate the offense recently, but that’s also been the case with Jones healthy. I think we can put that one on Garrett

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@clt_ny @computerfolkpe1 Sure, but how much value does he add next year?

Andy Dalton signed 1yr/$3 mil
Nick Foles signed 2yr/$6.2mil

I can see value of a vet QB with a rookie QB, but that’s mostly in teaching/mentoring rather than playing

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@Bull41461712 @clt_ny If a poor season, NYG is in position for a top QB. If DJ plays well he could be the future. Tyrod isn’t a long term answer, & winning an extra game or two with a bad team isn’t worth it

For a contender, QB2 has value. Extra game or two if QB1 gets hurt could clinch playoffs

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@computerfolkpe1 @clt_ny They clearly had cap issues this off-season & unless you’re contending, I don’t think it is wise to consistently push money into the future

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@clt_ny @plus_sign I think teams are seeing the values of (1) rookie contracts especially and (2) stars at premium positions

NBA is a star driven game. Not sure I see the same success with that in the NFL, besides QBs, but the Rams made it work

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

I’ve been a little MIA folks been very busy with work. I’ll have updated numbers out hopefully this week I’ve been waiting for Wan’Dale, Belton, & Bellinger to sign

Been a little lucky it’s a quiet time of year. Looking forward to more salary cap content soon👍

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@clt_ny @plus_sign Oh yeah Taylor will be on the roster next year. It’s also nothing against him he’s a good backup

There was a debate about value of QB2 before FA & skyrocketed when initial numbers came in on his contract. Then it went away after the ‘22 cap hit was low & NYG pushed $$ forward

[True Big Blue @True_Big_Blue]

@clt_ny Good catch. Didn’t know it was an injury waiver. I’ll have to add this to my sheets
