Giants' rookie cap numbers for 2013 draft picks

Here are the anticipated cap numbers according to the slotting system from overthecap.com

I had to adjust the calculations from overthecap.com for the Giants' respective slots because they were not added correctly on the site on account of them not corresponding to the giants' actual selections. Jason Fitzgerald does a FANTASTIC job on that site nonetheless, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND visiting his site to learn about how the cap works.

Here goes already with the estimated cap numbers for the Giants' 7 drafted rookies. The estimated total according to my figures below for all 7 picks is $4,643,388. The numbers below correspond to each individual player's draft slot:

Cap hits for players 52 through 84 on the roster at this time.

Including the 7 drafted rookie from last week's draft, there are currently 84 players on the 90-man roster. Here are the cap numbers in chronological order for players 52 to 84. Since the Top 51 cap rule is in effect, on account of this being the off-season, these players' cap numbers DO NOT COUNT towards the salary cap at this time. Here they are:



At present, the Giants are OFFICIALLY $3,927,958 under the salary cap.

New York Giants Salary Cap Blog

This blog is dedicated to charting and mapping out the salary cap of the NY Football Giants. As of today's date--Monday, May 6, 2013--the Giants have 84 players on their 90 man roster. I included the 7 draft picks from this year's draft. They supposedly count on the roster according to BigBlueInteractive.com (BBI) poster Jon in NYC : in a post he made on that link on 4/28/2013 at  5:25 pm. He cited a tweet from Ralph Vacchiano (see the near the end of the link below):

RT @gregaiello After further review, unsigned draft choices DO count on roster. Change was made when roster limit went from 80 to 90.
