Davis---a chronic underachiever---<a href="http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DaviKe01.htm" target="_blank">was drafted in 2008 in the fifth round out of Michigan State</a>, and has 6 accrued seasons. Harvey, has no accrued years, and went undrafted last year out of Florida A&M.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Davis will serve as much needed veteran depth at TE; while not starting material, he adds a skill-set that is missing from this current crop of Tight Ends: the ability to man up and block his man one-on-one at the point of attack. He could easily be cut in training camp though if any draft picks impress in training camp, in combination with their young Tight Ends (Robinson and Donnell).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Davis and Harvey were signed to one-year deals. Davis was signed first, and is most likely going to receive a Minimum Salary Benefit (MSB) contract. Since he has 6 accrued years, his actual cash salary will be $730,000 plus up to $65,000 in an added signing bonus, for a 2014 total cash number of $795,000. His cap number, on the other hand, would be $635,000. This contract displaced the 51st ranked cap number on the team at the time he was signed, which belonged to DT Markus Kuhn's cap number, which came out to be $581,474. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The difference between these two numbers---$53,526---is the amount of cap space which was used up for this signing due to the Top 51 Salary Cap Accounting Rule being in effect. The estimate for the Giants' cap number that I have at this point is now <b><i><u style="background-color: yellow;">$4,609,903</u></i></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Top 51 Rule has been in effect since the start of the 2014 league year from 4 pm EST on March 11th, and will cease at 11:59 pm EST on Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the Davis signing was leaked, the signing of WR Travis Harvey leaked. It's considered to be what is known as a Futures deal. Here's a good article by Ty Schalter of bleacherreport.com from about 2 months ago on the subject:</span><br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1947667-everything-you-need-to-know-about-nfl-futures-contracts" target="_blank">"Everything You Need to Know About NFL Futures Contracts" - By Ty Schalter, NFL National Lead Writer | Feb 4, 2014</a></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Harvey's signing won't count against the Giants' salary cap since it wont fall into the Giants' top 51 cap numbers. His cap & cash number will be the same, and will most likely only be for $420,000 since he has no accrued years despite having spent some time with the Titans last year in Training Camp. This is the absolute league minimum for players in the NFL. Here is the list for players and the salaries that correspond to their accrued years:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Harvey is the 15th player on the Giants' roster, which has 76 players at the moment </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(90-man limit)</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, who is categorized as a Futures signing. 13 of those Futures signings don't count against the cap, while 2 do (Spencer Adkins & Troy Kropog, who have cap & cash numbers of $645K). 8 of these 15 signings were on the Practice Squad last year. 11 of the 13 who don't count against the cap have cap & cash numbers of $420,000---as in the case of Harvey. Two who don't count against the cap who have cap numbers higher than $420,000 are Preston Parker & Daniel Fells. Parker's cap & cash numbers are the same, $570,000, whereas Fells's are not. Daniel Fellas has a cap number of $570,000 and a cash number of $730,000.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do the cap numbers of Davis & Harvey mean for the immediate future? Both of these players could easily both wind up being cut in Training camp if their competition impresses the coaching staff, as indicated by their contracts. The Giants have improved their depth at E and WR with these two signings. They will still most likely draft or sign an UDFA Tight End or two to help improve the quality of the Tight End position despite this signing. Harvey will have a shot to compete for the 6th WR spot or a spot on the Practice Squad, since he still has eligibility to qualify being on it.</span></div>

I'll probably contact Jason really soon to figure out how he they got that number because I'm using his figures (player cap numbers) to calculate mine. In the meantime, take a look at the cap & cash numbers listed below sourced from the Giants' 2014 team salary cap page on OverTheCap.com:</span></div>

I'm not 100% sure regarding Jerry's cash earnings for 2014 (it's a one-year Minimum Salary Benefit contract)--although I am confident the figure listed below for is correct. I am sure though about his 2014 cap number being $635,000.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Due to cap number displacement, Jerry's signing only cost the Giants $65,000 in cap space. His contract displaced the 51st ranked cap number on the Giants, which was $570,000. That difference of $65,000 is what was subtracted from the Giants' available cap space.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rumor is that the Giants will be adding CB Zack Bowman soon too. We'll wait and see what that deal will be for, and then add that on to this list as well. For now though, here are the numbers (courtesy of <a href="http://www.overthecap.com/teamcap.php?Team=Giants&Year=2014" target="_blank">OverTheCap.com's Giants Team Salary Cap Page</a>). I've added my own twist to this, with the cash earnings for 2014, as can be seen in the last column on the right below. The second to last column on the right is for player cap numbers:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The players in the Top 51 count towards the salary cap, whereas those ranked 52 through 70 do not. This is due to the Top 51 Salary Cap accounting rule being in effect during the off-season from the first day of the league year on March 11th (starting at 4 pm EST), up until the day before the regular season opener during the first week of September (ending at 4 pm EST)---totaling roughly 5 months and 3 weeks. Once the top 51 Salary Cap accounting rule ends, other factors will be taken into account. They are as follows:</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><i style="background-color: cyan;"><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All 53 players on the opening day 53-man roster, instead of just the Top 51.</span></b></i></li>
<li><i style="background-color: cyan;"><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All 8 Practice Squad players.</span></b></i></li>
<li><i style="background-color: cyan;"><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All players who have received Injury Settlements during training camp, as inevitably happens each and every year.</span></b></i></li>
<li><i style="background-color: cyan;"><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All players who are on Injured Reserve, be it season ending IR or temporary IR.</span></b></i></li>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, what do the numbers listed above actually mean with respect to the Giants' remaining salary cap room? I'll explain that in my next post. Keep in mind that only the Top 51 numbers will factor into calculating the Giants' available amount of cap space due to the Top 51 Rule being in effect. I'll also factor in Dead Money too ($2,778,141 as of now for the Giants) which I will list below here first:</span></div>

The pizza box originally had 8 slices in it---our CAP NUMBER. You subtracted the savings from it (4 slices), </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">&</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"> were left with one bad slice that you couldn't put to use, a.k.a. DEAD MONEY. In the case of the pizza box, you had DEAD MONEY amounting to one slice. In Beatty's case, should the Giants decide to cut him in 2015, you'd be left with $7.5 Million in DEAD MONEY.<br /><br />In summary, what's DEAD MONEY? It's the amount of a given player's CAP NUMBER that is left over after you cut him </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">&</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"> count CAP SAVINGS. It's the part of the player's contract that remains on the accounting books after cutting him loose. The catch with DEAD MONEY is that it still counts towards a team's salary cap even after the player in question is off of the team.</span><br />

That's roughly 11 and a half days from now, as of the timing of this post. The Top 51 Salary Cap accounting rule will kick in at that time as well. Right now, the Giants have 51 players under contract. Their cap numbers are as follows at the moment:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As can be seen, the Giants have $110,933,676 in cap dollars allocated to the 51 players who count towards the active player cap numbers thus far. In addition to this, they have $2,778,141 in Dead Money set aside for 11 players, 9 of whom are no longer on the team (Eric Herman and Charles James being the only exclusions).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The total for the cap numbers and Dead Money in 2014 is </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">$113,711,817. This is then subtracted from what's called the team's adjusted cap. What exactly is this? I explained it in this post from last June (June 8th, 2013 to be exact):</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2013/06/the-giants-are-officially-3308682-under.html" target="_blank">Variables that factor into cap adjustments & the Giants' present team cap space situation</a></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The five factors that change a team's unadjusted cap into an adjusted cap, as explained in the article I linked above, are as follows:</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><b><i style="background-color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Carryover money from the previous year</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i style="background-color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Finalized Grievances</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i style="background-color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cap penalties</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i style="background-color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">LTBE (Likely to be earned) bonuses</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i style="background-color: orange;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">NLTBE (Not likely to be earned) bonuses</span></i></b></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So far, only one of these factors has been determined. That is the Giants' carryover money from their salary cap in 2013. That figure is $17,447. This is as per the <a href="https://nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51" target="_blank">NFLPA's public league-wide cap report website</a>.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is an unadjusted cap you may ask? That is the bottom line figure that is not adjusted. This figure was set at $126.3 million at the end of the regular season. It has since went up to $128 million, and then $130 million. Most recently, it has been rumored to go up even more to between $132 & $133 million. as per the following tweets by <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/439168721051856896" target="_blank">Tom Pelissero</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/BaltimoreLuke/status/439171166000136192" target="_blank">Luke Jones</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If the figure is set at $133 million, then that would be a mark-up of $6.7 million cap dollars from what it started out as being earlier this off-season. This would mean that in order to determine how much cap money the Giants have free at this point, you would subtract the total amount of allocated cap dollars (</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">$113,711,817) from the actual---or projected---unadjusted cap ($133,000,000). <b><i style="background-color: lime;">If this were done with the figures in parentheses, then the Giants would have </i></b></span><b><i style="background-color: lime;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u>$19,288,183</u></span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u> in free cap space to use</u>, as of this moment.</span></i></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The voided contracts of Corey Webster ($1,000,000 in cap savings) & Brandon Myers ($3,250,000 in cap savings) have already been factored into this equation for those who are wondering. There are still other moves that are likely to be made as well. The contract of Chris Snee, highlighted in red above, is going to change. If the Giants cut him, they stand to gain $6.8 million in cap savings. Even if he remains on the team for the 2014 season, his $11.3 million cap number will most certainly go down significantly via a pay cut, as in the case of David Diehl last off-season. In my opinion, it would be a mistake to keep Snee at this juncture in his career following the past two injury-filled seasons, but that's neither here nor there.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's also the the case of Eli Manning and Antrel Rolle, both highlighted in yellow above. Both of them are interesting cases. Eli has two years left on his deal, while Rolle has only one. Word now is that the Giants won't extend Eli this off-season. Whether or not this is actually true is open to speculation. If they wait, it'll get done next off-season for sure unless Eli gets injured in 2014. The Giants won't let their franchise QB become a FA, even if he turns 35 after the 2015 season. I wouldn't say for sure though right now that the Giants won't extend Eli this off-season though. Antrel Rolle's case is also one to watch. He'll turn 32 next December, in what will be his tenth year. He had previously refused to have the terms of his contract changed, but <a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/giants/post/_/id/33730/rolle-says-hes-open-to-contract-extension" target="_blank">he has spoke up about this issue this off-season stating that he'd be open to an extension</a>, which is a win-win for both the Giants and himself: they'd lower his cap number, and keep him for a few more years at a lower cap rate, and in turn, Rolle would actually make more in cash. There are two other players though who are not as cut and dried when it comes to dealing with their contract issues: namely David Baas and Mathias Kiwanuka.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wrote about the possibility of making David Baas a post-June 1st cut in the article that I wrote for <a href="http://www.bigblueinteractive.com/" target="_blank">BigBlueInteractive.com</a> below back in October:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.bigblueinteractive.com/2013/10/12/three-ways-dealing-david-baas-contract/" target="_blank">Three Ways of Dealing with David Baas’s Contract - Oct. 12, 2013</a></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mathias Kiwanuka is another guy who is a possibility for the post-June 1st cut designation. At the same time, he's also a guy who is a possibility for a pay cut. Baas and Kiwi have the 4th highest ($8.225 M) & 7th highest </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">($7.050 M)</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> cap numbers on the Giants' roster at this time respectively. Those figures will undoubtedly go down since their performance, health, and age are no longer commensurate with their on-field production, or lack thereof, more accurately stated. If the Giants designate Baas as a post-June 1st cut, <a href="http://www.overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=David%20Baas&Position=C&Team=Giants" target="_blank">they'll stand to gain $5 million in cap savings as of June 2nd, as opposed to only $1.775 million in cap savings if he is a standard cut</a>. If they do the same with Kiwi, <a href="http://www.overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Mathias%20Kiwanuka&Position=43OLB&Team=Giants" target="_blank">they stand to gain $4.425 in cap savings if he is a post-June 1st cut, as opposed to only $1.8 million in cap savings if he is a standard cut</a>. In the case of Baas, I'd opt to make him a post-June 1st cut, but the case of Kiwanuka is a little different. Kiwi's case depends on Tuck in my estimation. It's no secret how much the Giants value Defensive Ends in their 4-3 defense. If Tuck walks in free agency---a realistic possibility--then Kiwi has an increased chance of remaining with the Giants.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants' 5 Restricted Free Agents are also going to factor into the cap equation (Henry Hynoski, Mark Herzlich, Jim Cordle, Spencer Paysinger, & Da'Rel Scott). We'll soon know what course of action they take with these players. March 11th is also the date that tenders for RFAs are made. If the salary cap is $130,000,000 then the figures will be as follows, from <a href="http://overthecap.com/cap-set-jump-130m-new-franchise-rfa-tender-estimates/" target="_blank">overthecap.com</a>:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>1st round tender = $3,043,000</b></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>2nd round tender = $2,138,000</b></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b>Right of First Refusal/Original round tender = $1,398,000</b></i></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After doing some math, the tenders would go up the following figures of the cap is raised to $133,000,000:</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>1st round tender = $3,113,223</i></b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>2nd round tender = $2,187,338</i></b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>Right of First Refusal/Original round tender = $1,430,262</i></b></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I had to guess, I'd say that Da'Rel Scott won't even be tendered, but that the rest of the RFAs, who are all Undrafted Free Agents, could receive the right of first refusal tender, with Paysinger having a shot at receiving the 2nd round tender. If PAysinger were to receive the 2nd round tender and the rest of the RFA (sans Scott) were to receive ROFR tenders, then that would take out about $6.5 million from the Giants' remaining estimated cap space amount of $19,288,183 mentioned above. More moves will continue to be made, most certainly in the cases of Snee and Rolle, and probably at least one of Baas and Kiwankuka.</span></div>

I meant to do one last week, but there wasn't really a point to it. We're on the verge of the new league year in 15 days (4 pm ET on March 11th to be exact). The last update from <a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2014/02/2013-season-salary-capcarryover-update.html" target="_blank">16 days ago</a> was very similar to today's. the only changes were to the figures of four teams: <b><i>Green Bay, Houston, New Orleans, & Indianapolis</i></b>. Their rankings stayed the same in this update with Green Bay still ranked 7th, Houston still ranked 26th, New Orleans still ranked 29th, and Indianapolis still ranked 30th. The numbers changed as follows:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>Green Bay lost $10,411 in cap space from their last update on February 8th.</i></b></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: lime; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>Houston gained $32,647 in cap space from their last update on February 8th.</i></b></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>New Orleans lost $400 in cap space from their last update on February 8th.</i></b></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>Indianapolis lost $10,411 in cap space from their last update on February 8th.</i></b></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As can be seen, the numbers for 3 clubs decreased (Green Bay, New Orleans, & Indianapolis), while that of one club increased (Houston).</span></div>

These figures are taken from the <a href="https://nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51" target="_blank">NFLPA's public League Cap Report</a>. The two teams whose numbers changed since the last update I made were Detroit and New Orleans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Detroit went from being $1,474,552 under the cap on January 29th to being $1,468,952 under the cap today. They lost $5,600 in available cap space in that time, and went from being ranked 21st in the NFL in available cap space ten days ago, to being ranked 22nd today (the Lions switched places with the Jets, who are now ranked 21st ahead of Detroit). The Saints went from being $623,917 under the cap ten days ago, to being $629,917 under it today. The Saints gained $6,000 in cap room between January 29th and today. They are still ranked 29th at .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The figures for the 30 other teams in the league have remained constant since January 29th. <b style="background-color: orange;">The Giants are ranked last in the NFL with only $17,447 in remaining cap space to end the 2013 season.</b> The Super Bowl runners-up, the Denver Broncos, finished the season ranked 11th in the NFL in this category with $6,456,880 in remaining cap space to end the season (the post-season doesn't count towards the cap for those who are wondering). The newly crowned Super Bowl champions for the 2013 season, the Seattle Seahawks, finished the season ranked 15th in the league with $2,845,003 in available cap space to end the regular season. These numbers for the two Super Bowl participants tell us two things:</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">High quality teams like the Seahawks--and 49ers for that matter--with young QBs playing under their rookie contracts have a distinct advantage with respect to being able to develop depth. Of course, once Russell Wilson's rookie contract expires after the 2015 season, their cap paradigm will change significantly.</i></b></span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: #f1c232;">Teams with veteran Franchise QBs with a past history as a champion and former Super Bowl MVP and multiple League MVP take up a significant amount of cap space. As a result, the draft becomes doubly important to make up for not only depth, but quality young and cheap labor to fill out the rest of the roster, something which is clearly lacking with the Giants' roster at this point in time, as evidenced by the second half of the 2012 season, and the entire 2013 season.</i></b></li>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As of now, I'm 99% sure that I'll only do one or two more of these updates for the 2013 season. If I only do one more, then I'll aim to make next weekend the last week that I update these figures for 2013, and then turn the page to 2014. If I do two more, then I'll do one next week, and the last one the week after. Without further ado, here are the 2013 cap figures for all 32 teams in the NFL as of today, February 8th, 2014:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">These figures didn't change at all from the last update I made ten days ago (click <a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2014/01/2013-season-salary-capcarryover-update.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read it), unlike the previous post where 24 of the 32 teams had changes in their respective cap numbers to end the 2013 season. I'll post it anyway though, just for the sake of reference and in an effort to point out that the numbers that we're seeing now are starting to solidify, which means that I'll only do one or two more of these after I see for sure that the numbers cease to fluctuate, before going on to the 2014 figures, which will only be estimates of course.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Starting at 4 pm EST, on March 11th, the Top 51 Salary Cap Accounting Rule will be in effect, coinciding with the official start of the 2014 NFL league year. This will be in effect until the day before the first regular season game, which is typically on Thursday night in the first week of September. What does the Top 51 Rule being in effect mean? It means that the </span><a href="https://nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">League-wide League Cap Report website</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> will no longer use the 2013 cap figures from March 11th onward, but will instead use the 2014 figures (if they update correctly that is, which is a whole other story). For now though, I'll just continue to update the final figures for 2013 a couple of more times after this post.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Super Bowl participants, Denver and Seattle, finished the season with the 11th and 15th most amount of leftover cap space in the league for the 2013 season. Their cap numbers are as follows:</span><br />

He'll be happy to answer your questions, and is a big favorite of mine when it comes to salary cap knowledge.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">**NOTE(S):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I. Jacquian Williams's & JPP's 2014 cash & cap numbers went up after they earned escalators on their contracts for next season. Williams earned a $744,000 cash & cap raise due to <a href="http://overthecap.com/2014-nfl-salary-increases/" target="_blank">proven performance escalators given to players drafted in 2011</a> who played in at least 35% of the snaps for two years between 2011 and 2013.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

As per <a href="https://twitter.com/corryjoel/status/426809379472433153" target="_blank">Joel Corry's tweet</a>, JPP's escalator was based on playing time, sacks, and Pro Bowls in previous years.</span><br />

This lowered his base salary $450K. It was $7.2M before the de-escalator was triggered, and then went down to $$6.75M afterwards. If Snee retires, or is cut---either of which is likely---his cap savings have decreased as a result too. <a href="http://www.overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Chris%20Snee&Position=G&Team=Giants" target="_blank">They went from being $7.25M to $6.8M</a>, reflecting the $450K decrease in base salary.</span><br />

The reason this is calculated this way is in anticipation of the Top 51 accounting rules taking effect on the first day of Free Agency and the new league year on March 11th at 4 pm EST.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The overall cap number total for all 53 players signed by the Giants now in 2014 comes out to $117,558,676.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cash total for all 53 players comes out to $86,176,597.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep in mind that the Giants' projected unadjusted salary cap will be just about $126,300,000 + their carryover amount of leftover cap space from 2013 ($17,447).</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>This comes out to $126,317,447.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: orange; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Subtract $117,107,974 from the unadjusted amount of $126,317,447 and you'll get <u><i>$9,209,473 in projected available cap space.</i></u></b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This figure will change of course, and are likely to do so a few days after the Super Bowl, since it is the day after the Super Bowl (Feb. 3rd), when teams can begin to release players off of their rosters to gain cap space for 2014---this is only 10 days from now, so that magic date is rapidly approaching. Last year, the Giants released 3 players only 2 & 3 days after the Super Bowl: <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/giants-part-ways-lb-boley-seasons-article-1.1256210" target="_blank">Michael Boley first</a>, and then <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/bradshaw-canty-cap-casualties-article-1.1257103" target="_blank">Ahmad Bradshaw & Chris Canty</a>. Chris Snee is a guy who fits into this category this year. Even if he retires (the Giants will probably fail him in his physical based on the end-of-year physical that he took), the effect will be the same with respect to the cap. The Giants would stand to gain $6.8 million in cap savings from the release/retirement of Snee in 2014.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Voidable contracts, like that of TE Brandon Myers & CB Corey Webster are going to tack on another $4.25 million in additional cap savings to the Giants' available spending total---$3.25 million for Myers, & $1 million for Webster---bringing it to $20,259,473.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Add another likely $1.7 million to this total <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24379050/agents-take-raiders-atop-list-of-10-teams-with-best-2014-salary-cap-situation" target="_blank">since the unadjusted salary cap will probably go up from $126.3 million in 2014 to $128 million</a>. This would bring our estimated total amount of cap room to $21,959,473.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Add to this total of $21,959,473 to any additional cap savings that result from the possible extensions of QB Eli Manning & S Antrel Rolle, and you could potentially gain roughly another $10 million in cap savings from both put together, bringing you available total to roughly $32 million. Subtract from this other future expenditures that extend out to the end of training camp and the start of the regular season, and </span><b style="background-color: lime;">the Giants will have roughly $25 million to spend in Free Agency this off-season, give or take a couple of million.</b><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">This total includes possible Restricted Free Agent tenders (about $4 to $5 million), the draft pool (roughly $2 million), and the likely post-June 1st cut of Center David Baas (resulting in $5 million in cap savings that get added on to the books on June 2nd; this will help the Giants sign their draft picks who fit into the Top 51 rule and help them take care of any cushion needed to enter the regular season with after accounting for training camp expenses like Injury Settlements and then Injured Reserve, Practice Squad, and 53-man roster expenditures that start counting a few days before the start of the regular season once the Top 51 accounting Rules cease).</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mathias Kiwanuka is also a possibility to be a post-June 1st cut, or receive a pay cut a la David Diehl and Corey Webster last year, especially if UFA DE Justin Tuck re-signs with the Giants at their price. <a href="http://www.overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Mathias%20Kiwanuka&Position=43OLB&Team=Giants" target="_blank">Kiwanuka's 2014 cap number must go down from it's currently scheduled $7,050,000 figure</a> (the 7th highest on the team) either way. This price tag is unacceptable for a 4th DE who doesn't even contribute greatly on Special Teams. Something must change in this regard.</span></span></li>

Notice that the Giants went down from the figure of $24,947 that <a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2014/01/salary-cap-update-for-all-nfl-teams-as.html" target="_blank">I wrote about previously 15 days ago in this post</a> to having <b style="background-color: lime;">$17,447 in available cap space---still dead last in the NFL---to end the 2013 season that will carryover into the Giants' 2014 adjusted salary cap.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The previous figure of $24,947 decreased $7,500 to being $17,447. I've been keeping track of the daily fluctuations from this website with respect to the Giants' available in-season cap room for most of the season. I saw that this figure of $17,447 was first listed in the NFLPA database on Monday, January 6th. I'm not sure what accounted for this decrease in $7,500 other than it possibly being some bonus money or Practice Squad cap costs that weren't previously updated. I can't say for certain, and would prefer to ask someone in the know (Joel Correy and Jason Fitzgerald would be guys who could probably explain this).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants weren't the only team whose cap number decreased after the last regular season games of the 2013 season were played on December 29th. <b>Including the Giants, 24 teams' available cap numbers/carryover figures have fluctuated since I last updated this information 15 days ago (click <a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2014/01/salary-cap-update-for-all-nfl-teams-as.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to compare).</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">None of these final 4 remaining clubs will not have any issues getting through the last two games (today, and potentially the Super Bowl for the winners of today's Conference Championship games). Post-season play falls under the umbrella of benefits in the <a href="http://nfllabor.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/collective-bargaining-agreement-2011-2020.pdf" target="_blank">CBA</a>---<i><b>see Article 37 on Postseason Play</b></i>. Joel Corry wrote an excellent article dated from January 3rd (16 days ago) about how the pay system in the NFL post-season works titled: <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24396663/agents-take-a-guide-to-nfl-postseason-pay" target="_blank">"Agent's Take: A guide to NFL postseason pay."</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll update these figures again in about another 10 to 14 days, and then probably one more time after that to see how they've changed before we move on completely to the projected 2014 figures for the Giants and all the other teams in the NFL. Check out this article by Jason Fitzgerald from <a href="http://overthecap.com/" target="_blank">OverTheCap.com</a> that touches on the topic of cap space availability for the 2014 off-season & free agency (Free Agency starts in less than 2 months on March 11th):</span></div>

They are listed below in order of most cap space to least cap space and then in alphabetical order, for the sake of easier reference. As I wrote above, I'll list the cap numbers for all 32 clubs in approximately another 10 days to 2 weeks, after the Pro Bowl next Sunday, and the upcoming Super Bowl after the losers of today's Conference Championship games have been eliminated from the playoffs. Now, have a look at the figures below:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The cap total for the Giants' Top 51 cap figures for 2014 is $115,374,676. Their Dead Money total for 2014, as listed above, is $389,298.</b> <b style="background-color: cyan;"><i>That's a total of $115,763,974.</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">If the Top 51 rule wasn't going to be in effect come the start of Free Agency on March 11th, then the total for the Top 53 cap numbers would be taken into effect instead (that comes out to </span><b><i style="background-color: orange;">$116,214,676</i></b><span style="background-color: white;">).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants' adjusted 2014 salary cap would include the following five factors (I wrote about them <a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2013/06/the-giants-are-officially-3308682-under.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> as well in more depth last June):</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can roughly say at this point that taking these factors into account, along with the expected $126.3 million dollar unadjusted cap for each club, that the Giants' adjusted cap in 2014 will be just about <b>$126,317,447 for the purpose of this post </b>based on these figures. NLTBE and LTBE bonus figures have yet to be factored into the equation, but for now, I'll keep this simple. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Subtract the total of </span><span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">$115,763,974 from $126,317,447</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> & you get </span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: cyan;">$10,553,473 in free cap space.</i></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i style="background-color: cyan;"><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other variables will factor into this total of course. This includes the unadjusted cap possibly going up another $1.7 million from $126.3 million to $128 million. that would bring up the Giants' estimated total of available cap space to </span><span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>$12,253,473</i></b></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">. The voiding of the contracts of Brandon Myers (cap savings of $3.25 M), and Corey Webster (cap savings of $1 M) will ad another $4,250,000 in cap savings to the total mentioned above, making it </span><b><i style="background-color: #cccccc;">$16,503,473</i></b><span style="background-color: white;">. Add in the $7.25 M in cap savings for cutting Snee---it would be the same if he retired---to this, and the total goes up again to </span></span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: #cccccc;">$23,753,473</i></b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">After that you factor in the likely extensions for Eli and Rolle, and you get roughly another $10 million in cap space to work with, and add on to the estimated total above, raising it to roughly </span><b style="background-color: #cccccc;">$33,753,473</b><span style="background-color: white;">. Subtract from this the tender amounts for Restricted Free Agents (say about $5 M), and this total goes down to about </span><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>$28,753,473</b></span><span style="background-color: white;">. There will be other factors as well, such as the possible post-June 1st cut (likely in my estimation) for David Baas. That would net the Giants another $5 M in cap room off of their books in June 2nd. This freed up cap space would help the giants to sign their 2014 draft class, and have money saved up for regular season cap expenditures for 2014. </span><b><i style="background-color: lime;">I'll outline this in further detail in an upcoming post, but roughly put, the Giants will have about <u>$25 million in available space to spend</u> in Free Agency in 2 months.</i></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dates that stand out since the end of the season are December 30th and February 3rd (the day after the Super Bowl). The players who were drafted by the Giants in 2011 that are still on the team who they can now extend or renegotiate are as follows:</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><i><span style="background-color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>1st Round - Prince Amukamara (CB)</b></span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>3rd Round - Jerrel Jernigan (WR)</b></span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>4th round - James Brewer (OT)</b></span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>6th round - Jacquian Williams (OLB)</b></span></i></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These 4 players are the only ones left still on the roster out of the 8 who were picked in that year's draft (click <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/686586-2011-nfl-draft-grades-grading-best-and-worst-of-all-32-teams/entry/76380-new-york-giants-2011-draft-picks-nf" target="_blank">HERE</a> to see who all 8 picks were). Da'Rel Scott technically finished the season on Injured Reserve for the Giants, but he is not under contract in 2014 for the Giants since he was cut earlier in the year, and then re-signed after clearing waivers. He won't even be a Restricted Free Agent (RFA).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants have 7 RFAs going into the off-season. Three of them are listed above in <b><i style="background-color: yellow;">Jernigan, Brewer, and Williams</i></b>. The other 4 are as follows (they were all signed as Undrafted Rookies in 2011):</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b><i><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Henry Hynoski (FB)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Mark Herzlich (LB)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="background-color: yellow; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Spencer Paysinger (OLB)</span></i></b></li>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: lime;">The importance of December 30th</b> besides the avenue of being able to extend players drafted in the 2011 Draft now being open to team (the Giants have 4 left as indicated above) is that restructures and extensions to other players already under contract could also be made. The Bears have been very busy in that regard with the Tim Jennings, Robbie Gould, and Jay Cutler signings/extensions. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Giants do something similar with Eli Manning and/or Antrel Rolle after the straighten out their issues with the coaching staff anf front office.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Teams were also allowed to begin to sign players to deals for 2014 season on December 30th. What typically happens is Reserve/Futures signings begin to be made the day after the regular season for non-playoff teams like the Giants. Right now, the Giants have 52 players under contract. They had 39 as of the end of the regular season on the evening of December 29th. They have signed 13 players to Futures deals since then, raising the amount of players they have under contract to them in 2014 to 52. The Giants began this process on the day after the season ended, on December 30th, when they signed all 8 players who ended the regular season on their Practice Squad to to Reserve/Futures deals in 2014. Those 8 players are:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kendrick Adams (DE)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Steven Baker (OL)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kendall Gaskins (RB)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Marcus Harris (WR)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Travis Howard (CB)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Junior Mertile (CB)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Chaz Powell (FS)</span></i></b></li>
<li><b><i><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ross Weaver (CB)</span></i></b></li>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All 8 of these players have cap numbers (and salaries) that are equivalent to the absolute league minimum in 2014 (this is due to them not having earned an accrued season yet towards Free Agency in their respective careers). That figure is $420,000. Here are the other league minimum figures for 2014 that correspond to accrued seasons:</span></div>

<li><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So far none of these Futures signings have been reported to include signing bonuses of any kind, hence these bare bones cap figures for each of them.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: lime;">February 3rd</b> is the first day teams can cut players to make room under the cap for 2014, so don't expect Chris Snee---someone who is expected be cut (or retire)---go until at least then. Last year, the Giants cut Michael Boley, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Chris Canty only a few days after Super Bowl 47. They cut Michael Boley 2 days after the Super Bowl last year on February 5th (click <a href="http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2013/02/michael_boley_cut_as_giants_st.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read about it). They cut Ahmad Bradshaw and Chris Canty the following day---3 days after the Super Bowl last year on February 6th (click <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/giants/bradshaw-canty-cap-casualties-article-1.1257103" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read about it). Look for the Snee situation to get resolved very shortly after this year's Super Bowl on February 2nd, especially since the Giants will be needing <a href="http://overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Chris%20Snee&Position=G&Team=Giants" target="_blank">the $7.25 M in cap savings that they'd get from cutting Snee</a>.</span></div>

Hakeem Nicks was a candidate for this before, and in fact may still be, but it looks a lot less likely that that will be the case now after taking into account how this past season went with the Giants. I wrote about an option that the Giants had with regard to trading a franchised player, if they actually did franchise Nicks almost three months ago. Click below to read it:</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep in mind that an announcement regarding the cap possibly going up from $126.3 million, as reported b Joel Corry <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24382087/agents-take-worst-salary-caps-cowboys-saints-steelers-lead-way" target="_blank">HERE</a>, to $128 million could also be made before the start of Free Agency <b style="background-color: lime;">by late February or early March</b> (Joel Corry wrote about that <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24379050/agents-take-raiders-atop-list-of-10-teams-with-best-2014-salary-cap-situation" target="_blank">HERE</a> as well).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clubs can officially begin to contact the agents of players who are scheduled to be Unrestricted Free Agents (UFAs) <b style="background-color: lime;">starting on March 8th.</b><b style="background-color: white;"> </b><span style="background-color: white;">This is farcical in many ways. Teams used to make signings literally minutes after the start of Free Agency, so in order to combat this perception of rampant tampering--which was actually reality, and still is the case by the way--the NFL has officially allowed teams to begin contacting players a few days prior to the start of free agency. This way it looks less suspect. The fact of the matter is this: teams are constantly in contact with player agents, wither trough 3rd parties or via back channels. The week of the Indianapolis Combine is famous for team officials and player agents walking down the street and talking shop all week in Indianapolis. Check this article detailing the matter from February of 2008 by Pat Yasinskas: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=yasinskas_pat&id=3263750" target="_blank">If everyone's doing it, free-agent tampering is OK: The scouting combine allows teams to get a head start on free agency, even though the practice is technically against the rules, writes Pat Yasinskas</a>.</span></span></div>

Right now, as indicated above, the Giants have 52 players under contract in 2014 (this will continue to go up before March 11th since more Futures signings will inevitably made, along with RFA tenders being announced as well). Free Agency will begin with a bang at 4 pm EST as well on March 11th, with the first week including lots of dollars being thrown at players who may or may not deserve them. After that though, the market will begin to come back down to earth, with wise teams taking advantage of the buyer's market at that point.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It will be interesting to see what happens, but based on previous history, I'd expect to see the giants target someone, and sign them right near the atart of FA that they deem to be an essential signing at a position of need (the OL would be a logical place to start). Off the top of my head, a player like Kansas City's UFA RG Jon Asamoah would seem like the kind of player they would go after. OTs are more expensive than OGs are, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Giants make a quick signing right at the start of FA with a player like Asamoah, and then letting the market settle down and come back to them, before they make any other signings.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Their opponents in 2014 (other than the usual & obvious 6 games against their divisional opponents in the NFC East) will be the teams in the AFC South, NFC West, and the 3rd place teams in the NFC South (the Giants will be hosting that team), and the 3rd place finisher in the NFC North (the Giants will be playing them on the road). The games are outlined <a href="http://www.fbschedules.com/nfl-14/2014-new-york-giants-football-schedule.php" target="_blank">on many sites; this one---FBSCHEDULES.COM---is my particular favorite</a>.

</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've noted on Twitter, and elsewhere, that the Giants will have about $25 to $30 million to spend come the start of free agency (probably closer to the lower figure) after factoring in variables like:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">player extensions/contract restructures - Eli & Rolle are extension candidates</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">contracts w/voidable years voiding - Myers & Webster</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">players being cut - Snee; Rolle is an outside possibility as well</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RFA tender candidates - Jernigan, Brewer, Williams, Paysinger, Hynoski, Herzlich, & Cordle</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The same factors for the Giants' 13 opponents will likewise factor in to the adjustment of how much cap money they'll have to spend at the start of free agency on March 11th, about two months from now. Of those 13 clubs, the ones with the best cap situations heading into Free Agency are <b><i style="background-color: lime;">Jacksonville, Indianapolis, the Redskins (their Cap Penalties are done with), & the Eagles</i></b>. Jacksonville obviously has a lot of work to do, but Indianapolis is already a strong team, and the Eagles won the NFC East in 2013. The Redskins will probably look to get back to their free-spending ways now that they are out of cap jail, if their previous behavior under Daniel Snyder is any indicator.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i style="background-color: white;"><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">The clubs who are going to have a more difficult time managing their cap situation heading into Free Agency are the teams at the bottom of the list above. The ones that stand out are: </span><b><i style="background-color: orange;">Arizona, St. Louis, Seattle Detroit, & Dallas</i></b><span style="background-color: white;">. Those five clubs in particular will have some major reshuffling of the deck to do with respect to managing the contracts on their respective rosters before Free Agency & the new league year begin on March 11th. The top 51 accounting rules go into effect that day as well, so that will factor into the equation as well.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Out of these five clubs, Seattle, Detroit, & Dallas stand out the most, since they are in the red--- hence the red text---with respect to their cap situations (they need to cut/extend/restructure players in order to be under the cap at the start of Free Agency and the new league year). These 3 clubs are projected to be over the cap when Free Agency begins on March 11th, without factoring in the other variables that I mentioned above that teams will inevitably deal with. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While these are just estimates that aren't even necessarily ball park figures like the $25 to $30 million dollar cap availability estimate that I gave for the Giants above (which I'll flesh out in an upcoming post pretty soon), these figures at least function to help give you an idea of where teams are right now in the process of managing their cap situations in the next two months.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To wrap up, fans will probably want to note that In 2015, the Giants will play the teams in the AFC East, NFC South, host the team from the NFC West that finishes in the same place as they do in 2014, and play at the team from the NFC North that finishes in the same place as they do in 2014 (as in the case of this upcoming 2014 season).

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jason said on one of his more recent podcasts that he has the pick-by-pick estimates for this year's draft. As soon as he has them, I'll link them here, nut for now, these will be close enough to get a rough idea of what they'll be dealing with cap-wise. Since the Top 51 rule will be in effect when the draft picks are signed, the odds are that the only picks that will count against the Giants' cap will be the players selected in rounds 1 and 2, with a slight possibility for round 3. another factor to take into consideration will be salary displacement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It should be noted that draft picks count towards the 90-man roster limit that is in effect during the off-season, even if they are not signed. It works like this: once a player is drafted, his cap number hits the books at the absolute 2014 league minimum of $420 K, as can be seen below along with other minimum rates for players corresponding to the amount of accrued years they have credited towards free agency. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once a player signs a drafted rookie signs his contract, his cap number is adjusted upwards; however, until then it stays on the cap books at the figures of $420,000 mentioned above.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When a player signs, his place in the Top 51 list of cap numbers on the team (assuming he ranks high enough form a cap standpoint) displaces a player already on the list, thereby pushing that player with the 51st ranked cap number off of the accounting books---at least until the top 51 rule is no longer in effect a few days before the season opener in September. The difference between that cap number and the salary that he displaces is what counts.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a result, as things stand now, the giants will probably not have to spend more than $2,000,000 in cap room on signing their Top 51 eligible draft picks. The rest who don't fit into the Top 51 can sign right away, and not count towards the cap, at least until when the Top 51 rule ceases---assuming they make the team of course, which almost all 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounders should, unless they completely bomb in training cap and during the preseason.</span></div>

As can be seen here, and as I wrote about in my previous post (<a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2014/01/giants-finish-2013-season-with-only.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>), the Giants finished dead last in the entire league with respect to cap space, with only <b style="background-color: cyan;"><i>$24,947</i></b> left in available cap room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 20 non-playoff teams like the Giants gave up the ghost for the 2013 season last Sunday, so they no longer have anything to worry about from an in-season cap perspective; however, the remaining teams competing in the post-season still do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 12 playoff teams rank as follows compared to each other with respect to available cap space rankings in order of most available cap space to least available cap space. They range from 5th most available cap space in the entire NFL (Philadelphia with $17,179,142) to 30th most available cap space on the league (Indianapolis with $632,910):</span><br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">None of these teams will have any problems getting through the post-season---even New Orleans & Indianapolis who rank 29th & 30th respectively. The Saints & colts bring up the rear on this group of playoff teams: The Saints have $633,292 in available cap space, while the Colts have $632,910 left they can spend this season. Both teams are more than fine with respect to getting through the maximum possible 4 games they can play. The only teams who would have problems getting through the post-season form the list I'm about to provide would be the Rams and Giants. Of course, neither of those two teams have to worry about that.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll double check, but unless I'm mistaken, the carryover amounts for the 20 non-playoff teams going into 2014 will be taken from the figures below. Without further ado, here they are (listed in order of most cap space to least cap space and then in alphabetical order for the sake of easier reference). I'll list the cap numbers for all 32 clubs again in another 2 weeks, when the Conference Title games will be played, & another 8 teams will have been eliminated from the playoffs. Now, have a look at the figures below:</span></div>

As a result, the Giants went from having $41,888 in available cap space, as per <a href="https://nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51" target="_blank">the NFLPA's public League Cap Report website</a>, to having <b style="background-color: lime;">$24,947</b> in remaining available cap space---dead last in the entire league (assuming the 12 playoff teams don't suffer through more injuries than is humanly possible in the next few weeks during the playoffs). Check out how I arrived at this figure below:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, the NFLPA doesn't always update their database as quickly a they should. These transactions took place late in the afternoon/early evening on Wednesday, December 25th. The next day was a work day for the NFL, so these figures should have been updated then by the NFLPA. They weren't actually uploaded into the NFLPA's database until yesterday---9 days after they should have been. The fact that this figure wasn't updated by the NFLPA the next day, as one would expect, is not indicative of the fact that the 3 aforementioned transactions didn't take place. All it means is that their database wasn't updated, as was frequently the case throughout the summer and at points during the regular season not counting weekends and the evenings (the NFL workday is Monday through Friday from 8 am ET - 4 pm ET).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, as I've been pointing out all season long, ever since Jason Fitzgerald did so on his website (<a href="http://overthecap.com/" target="_blank">OverTheCap.com</a>), the real and constantly updated Salary Cap figures are maintained by the NFL Management council. They hardly ever see the light of day, except in only a few instances (<a href="http://overthecap.com/official-salary-cap-space-update/" target="_blank">like this one</a>). </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As far as the Giants' cap numbers are concerned, I've listed them in my previous post from 4 days ago on New Year's Eve titled </span><a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2013/12/final-cap-numbers-for-all-players-on.html" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">"Final Cap numbers for all players on the Giants in 2013 (including Dead Money)"</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51" target="_blank">The NFLPA's public League Cap Report website</a> corresponds to mine with respect the Giants having 74 players whose current contracts count towards the 2013 salary cap, not counting Dead Money considerations. They carried over exactly $1,000,000 from 2012 into 2013, ranking them 26th out of 32 teams in this category, as I write about previously (click <a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2013/12/official-overall-carryover-figures-from.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read about it). The Giants' remaining cap room amount of <b><i style="background-color: lime;">$24,947</i></b> this year at the end of the season ranks them 32nd out of 32 teams in the NFL. According to the NFLPA's public records, <b><i style="background-color: lime;">the Giants spent $124,066,337 in cap dollars in the 2013 season,</i><i style="background-color: yellow;"> which was $24,947 short of their adjusted cap threshold</i></b>. I was $612,674 short of this amount since <b><i style="background-color: cyan;">I had them pegged as having spent $123,453,663</i></b> in cap dollars in the 2013 season.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These figures are estimates, but not to toot my own horn--which I'll do anyway--but I was very accurate with my estimated figures, <b style="font-style: italic;"><span style="background-color: orange;">99.51% to be exact.</span> </b>Where I came up a little short was most likely due to missed workout bonuses, as pointed out to me by a source. In any case, these numbers were pretty damned close.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the last post of the 2013 calendar year that I'm making. On a personal note, 2013 has been an interesting year with respect to starting up this blog. I started it just about 8 months ago, near the beginning of May, and I've learned a lot since then. I'm going to try and make some additions (possibly a brief podcast), to help add another dimension to what I'm doing here covering the Giants' cap. Twitter (<a href="https://twitter.com/NYGCapCentral" target="_blank"><b><i style="background-color: yellow;">@NYGCapCentral</i></b></a>) has been an outstanding way to reach out to people, and communicate with others in the "cap community", for lack of a better word. Here's to an outstanding time covering the Giants' cap this year, and to an even better time in 2014 doing the same. To quote Billy Ray Valentine (played by the great Eddie Murphy) in <b><i>Trading Places</i></b>...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<br />
<img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/2j41rua.jpg" /><br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If this $100,000 Pro Bowl bonus that Rolle missed out on is a <b><i style="background-color: cyan;">Likely To Be
Earned bonus (LTBE)</i></b>, then Rolle getting snubbed from making the Pro Bowl could be good news for
the Giants salary cap-wise in 2014. This would mean that they would get
an extra $100,000 in cap space credited their way to work with next
season.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, if this $100,000 bonus that Rolle missed out on was <span style="background-color: lime;"><b><i>Not
Likely To Be Earned (NLTBE)</i></b></span>, then the Giants could lose $100,000 in cap
space from their adjusted 2014 salary cap.<br />
<br />There are 4 cases which are possible. I'll describe all 4 of them below. I've already determined which one Rolle fits into, but I'll create some drama for added affect. Can you guess which category Rolle fits into form the information below?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.<br />
.<br />
.<br />
<br /><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><span class="bold" style="background-color: yellow;"><u><i>CASE #1:</i></u></span><br />
If this bonus was NLTBE, then there will be no residual effect with
respect to next year's adjusted cap because the NFL bases bonuses on
performance from the previous year. Since Rolle last made the Pro Bowl
in 2010 (he also made it in 2009), this bonus looks to be NLTBE.<br />
<br /><u><i><span style="background-color: yellow;">CASE #2:</span></i></u><br />
If it was NLTBE--meaning that Rolle didn't make it to the Pro Bowl last
year (which he didn't)--and Rolle makes it this year (which he didn't),
then the Giants would get that $100 K subtracted from their cap next
year.<br />
<br /><span class="bold" style="background-color: yellow;"><i><u>CASE #3:</u></i></span><br />
If it was LTBE--meaning that Rolle made it to the Pro Bowl last
year--and Rolle didn't make it this year, then the Giants would get that
$100 K credited to their cap next year to spend.<br />
<br /><span class="bold" style="background-color: yellow;"><i><u>CASE #4:</u></i></span><br />
If it was LTBE--meaning that Rolle made it to the Pro Bowl last
year--and Rolle made it this year (which he didn't), then there would be
no residual effect with respect to next year's adjusted cap.</span></b><br />
<br />.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ready? If you guessed case #1, then you're a winner! Just as I thought before researching Rolle's contract information (found at <a href="http://www.spotrac.com/" target="_blank">spotrac.com</a>), it turns out that he does indeed fall into category #1:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In this case, this neither benefits nor
hurts the Giants from a cap standpoint next season. I've estimated the Giants' carryover
amount as of now (that I know of), as per </span><a href="https://nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">the NFLPA's public cap report website</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, to be </span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">$24,947</b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. However, there will be other NLTBE & LTBE bonuses for other players on the Giants who will factor into the team's adjusted salary cap in 2014, be it in a neutral, negative, or positive fashion cap-wise for the Giants. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scenarios like #1 and #4 will have no effect on the Giants' adjusted cap
next year. Scenario #2 would result in a cap decrease, whereas scenario
#3 would result in a cap increase.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The reason Rolle's Pro Bowl bonus counts as NLTBE is because the NFL uses the previous year's performance to determine what is NLTBE and what is LTBE. <i style="background-color: cyan; font-weight: bold;">For example, if Rolle made the Pro Bowl last year, then he'd be considered likely to repeat it, as per the CBA, thereby making this bonus LTBE. Since he didn't make the Pro Bowl last season, then making it this season is considered NLTBE by the NFL.</i><i style="background-color: white; font-weight: bold;"> </i><span style="background-color: white;">This is why Rolle not making the Pro Bowl this year has no effect on the Giants' cap next season. If Rolle made the Pro Bowl this year, it actually would have cost the Giants $100,000 on their adjusted salary cap next year, adjusting it "down." Jason Fitzgerald wrote about it how this language works in an excellent article titled <a href="http://overthecap.com/a-guide-to-the-nfl-salary-cap/" target="_blank"><b><i>"A Guide to the NFL Salary Cap"</i></b></a> in the subsection subtitled <b><i><u><span style="color: blue;">"Other Bonuses."</span></u></i></b> Here's the relevant excerpt below:</span></span><br />

<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DT <b>Mike Patterson</b> is a player I wouldn't be surprised to see have a salary split this year either considering his health history and that he signed a one-year Minimum Salary Benefit (MSB) contract.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rookies with no accrued years who it would be logical to assume who also have splits in their salaries currently on the Giants' 53-man roster and who were promoted from the Giants' Practice Squad to the 53-man roster are <b>Charles James, Stephen Goodin, Marcus Dowtin, Julian Talley, & Eric Herman.</b></span></li>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants have 26 out of 74 players on the team now (counting the players on the 53-man roster, the 13 players Injured Reserve, & the players on the 8-man Practice Squad) who currently have salaries equivalent to their cap numbers (roughly 35%). Out of these 26 players, 14 are on the 53-man roster, 4 are on Injured Reserve, & 8 are on the Practice Squad (all 8 on the Practice Squad have cap numbers equal to their salaries). The aforementioned figures are as follows:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Giants would actually lose cap space if they released Beatty in standard
fashion next year; however, if they make him a June 1st cut in the
2015 off-season, then that would be the earliest that they would be able
to divest themselves of him, and gain cap space instead of losing it, which is what occurs when cutting players early on after they've signed a new contract. In such a scenario, the Giants
would gain $3,050,000 in cap room in 2015, spreading out Dead money on
the books in two year: $2,500,000 in 2014, & $5,000,000 in 2015.<br />
<br />
The scenario outlined above would be the first and earliest exit
strategy away from Beatty, and would only occur if Beatty is an absolute wreck and waste of space cap-wise and roster-wise. He would basically have to turn into the Left Tackle version of Rick Ankiel
(<a href="http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/61840/rick-ankiel-the-greatest-story-everyones-gotten-bored-with" target="_blank">Ankiel was a baseball pitcher who suddenly began throwing wild pitches all over the place and never regained his previous form</a>).<br />
<br />
While a critic of Beatty's, I acknowledge that he isn't a complete waste
of a roster spot---yet. I'd give him the next two years, and see what
return the Giants could get on their investment. If he completely tanks,
then you use the strategy above. If he's bad as opposed to
embarrassingly bad, and you have a replacement on roster (a first round pick in 2014 in this scenario), then I'd keep
him through 2015 <b><i>after</i></b> he's had a chance to compete for his job one last
time.<br />
<br />
A more reasonable approach would be to cut him after the 2015 season. As
a normal cut that year, the Giants would stand to gain $4,175,000 in cap
room for 2016 with $5 million remaining on the cap accounting books as
Dead Money in one shot through the 2016 season.<br />
<br />
Another way to do it would be to cut him after the 2015 season, not as a
normal cut, but as a post-June 1st cut. In that scenario, the Giants
would gain $6,675,000 in cap room for the 2016 season, leaving Dead
Money to be spread out over the next two years, instead of just one, in
the amounts of $2.5 million in 2016 & another $2.5 million in 2017.<br />
<br />Here's the bottom line: you don't reinforce a mistake by not seizing the
opportunity to grab a quality left Tackle in the first round of the 2014 draft approximately 4 and a half months from now. You're not married to Beatty in a
cap sense for any longer than a year at minimum (probably two). If the
tackle is there, and he is the best player available that fits a need,
then you take him. Let Beatty compete, and prove his worth. If he fails,
then you can get rid of him after the 2014 or 2015 seasons.<br />
<br />Keep in mind that the Giants can also use Pugh's versatility on the OL, just as Diehl's was used
throughout his career (especially in his earlier years). You could take
advantage of Pugh's versatility, and move him to Guard
for a year, or longer (keep in mind Pugh played Left Tackle throughout most of his collegiate career at Syracuse), in case you need to get by for a season with the draft pick
and Beatty playing opposite each other at the two Tackle positions. Of
course, it would be better to leave Pugh alone at RT, but I'm throwing
that option out there since the Giants did when they drafted him.
Hopefully Pugh stays right where he is.<br />
<br />
Beatty's going to be here on the roster for at least another
year--probably two--but this does not mean that you use his cap hit as a
crux to handing him a job that he never really earned in the first
place due to the lack of competition that he had at Left Tackle from within the roster, the high price of other starting Left Tackles in Free Agency in 2012, and the Giants' overall woes elsewhere on their OL at the conclusion of the 2012 season. Th<span class="bold">at's basically the whole <b><i>"you are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of
master"</i></b> argument that Star Wars geeks are familiar with regarding young

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Beatty is on this roster, but it doesn't mean
he has to be handed a starting job just because of of his high cap number. This is
especially dangerous since Beatty protects Eli's blind side. This is an issue that will be worth keeping an eye on going forward, especially if the Giants actually do go ahead and draft a Left Tackle (or even a Right Tackle in case Pugh is moved to OLT) in the first or second round of the upcoming draft in May of 2014.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These moves indicate that the Giants are in need of help depth-wise with respect to the Offensive Line, and that they're comfortable at RB going into the season finale against the Redskins since they didn't promote RB Kendall Gaskins from their Practice Squad.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fortunately for the Giants, this decrease in cap space wasn't as large as expected. This was due to the Giants placing Safety Cooper Taylor on Injured Reserve (I.R.). Taylor's salary split actually gave the Giants an added $6,882 in cap space to work with. It may not sound like much, but considering where the Giants are with respect to the cap, it is definitely helpful. Since Taylor was a fifth round pick in this past year's draft, <a href="http://overthecap.com/a-primer-on-some-rookie-contract-negotiating-sticking-points/" target="_blank">he had a salary split that kicked in once he was placed on I.R.</a> This decreased the value of his overall 2013 cap number from $451,813 (<a href="http://overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Cooper%20Taylor&Position=S&Team=Giants" target="_blank">as per OverTheCap.com</a>) to $444,931. Here is how I arrived at that figure:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Salary Splits can help teams to lessen the blow of cap hits when roster moves are processed through the league office in certain situations, if needed. I should have pointed this out in my article yesterday, but it slipped my mind. Players who the Giants placed on I.R. this season who have salary splits are Brandon Jacobs, Shaun Rogers, and now Cooper Taylor. The Giants benefited from all of these moves cap room-wise. Team cap managers always have a list of these player who they know can lessen a team's overall cap burden if they're forced to put a player on I.R. at certain points throughout the season.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Markus%20Kuhn&Position=DT&Team=Giants" target="_blank">Markus Kuhn's cap number</a> also changed as a result of a salary split when he went on the PUP list to start the season, giving the Giants extra cap room to work with (it went form being $491,444 to being $429,003 after he was placed on the PUP list). </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The splits correspond to a player's paragraph 5 salary (a.k.a. base salary). They are included in the </span><a href="https://twitter.com/NYGCapCentral/media" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">media section</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> of my Twitter account (</span><a href="https://twitter.com/NYGCapCentral" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">@NYGCapCentral</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">), as well as in the table below:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taylor's split of $288,000 (down) corresponds to the $405,000 amount (up) for the 2013 season for players with no accrued seasons towards free agency. Taylor's cap number was adjusted to include the proration of the amount of $288,000 for this single week (1 divided by 17 multiplied by $288,000 added to the previous 16 weeks prorated at the full base salary amount of $405,000). If the Giants needed more help to make room under the cap without restructuring a contract, they would have placed other players on I.R. who have salary splits that are dinged up and are on the injury report now. CB Terrell Thomas & TE Adrien Robinson are players who fit into that category.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://twitter.com/Patricia_Traina/status/415981795075964928" target="_blank">The odds are that they're probably done with placing players on I.R. though, as Patricia Traina points out</a>, since they would have done so today if they needed to. As things stand right now, the Giants wouldn't have to restructure a contract in order to add another player to their 53-man roster after placing another player on I.R. and then signing somebody else to the Practice Squad (they have just enough to get by making one more move if it was necessary). This is probably all a moot point since It doesn't look like they will. Wednesday is "turn the page" day in the NFL anyway in terms of player preparation, so barring any unforeseen freak injuries in practice the rest of the week, these 3 roster moves will likely wind up being the final in-season adjustments to the Giants' final 53-man roster--and salary cap--this ill-fated season.</span></div>

This year <a href="http://overthecap.com/giants-restructure-contracts-of-g-snee-and-p-weatherford/" target="_blank">the Giants restructured the contracts of Chris Snee and Steve Weatheford</a> to the tune of $1.25 million for the former and $675,000 for the latter respectively. That total of $1.925 million in restructures on September 4th resulted in <a href="http://overthecap.com/official-salary-cap-space-update/" target="_blank">the Giants being approximately $490,000 under the salary cap to start the 2013 season</a>, as per <a href="http://overthecap.com/" target="_blank">OverTheCap.com</a>, on the first day that regular season accounting rules went into effect on Thursday, September 5th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Since then, <a href="http://overthecap.com/giants-gain-1-25-million-in-cap-space-with-snee-restructure/" target="_blank">the Giants have went on to restructure Chris Snee's contract a second time</a> on Monday, September 30th when they were only $60,066 under the salary cap the day before that, as per <a href="https://nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51" target="_blank">the NFLPA's League Cap Report website</a>. That was just after week 4. We are now entering the last week of the season, week 17, and <i>the Giants are getting by with only $41,888 of free room under the cap as of today---the lowest amount in the entire NFL.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
In order to avoid restructuring another deal (Snee or Weatherford again, even though Snee is on I.R.) the Giants can't place more than one player on I.R. this week. The league minimums would be prorated for this final week (1/17 multiplied by the corresponding rate). Those rates corresponding to accrued years of experience are as follows:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are the rates for one week of service:</span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><b><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A player with no accrued years would cost $23,824.</span></i></b></span></li>

</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As can be seen, it is advantageous for clubs to sign players with none or just one accrued year credited towards Free Agency--being on the active roster for at least 6 games--due to the fact they're cheaper and make up the vast majority of Practice Squads throughout the league; click <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/8/31/4677982/nfl-practice-squad-salary-rules-eligibility" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read about Practice Squad eligibility and what makes up an accrued season. It should be noted that <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/8/31/4677982/nfl-practice-squad-salary-rules-eligibility" target="_blank">a player can still maintain Practice Squad eligibility with one accrued season</a> if he is in the 46-man active game-day roster for less than nine regular season games. They're also not vested veterans (players with 4 or more years credited towards free agency), which makes them even more desirable due to the roster flexibility that they offer. The fact that <a href="http://overthecap.com/veteran-players-and-termination-pay/" target="_blank">they're not termination pay eligible</a> is also significant, especially prior to week 1.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants have injuries at RB (Andre Brown & Peyton Hillis) this week, so the fact that they're depleted at that position may necessitate a player being placed on I.R. to make room for newly signed RB Kendall Gaskins being promoted from the Practice Squad to the 53-man roster. This doesn't include the injuries to JPP and Victor Cruz that will keep them out of the season finale on Sunday against Washington.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants would like to avoid having to I.R. more than one player this week, so as not to be forced to restructure another player contract. They have two things going in their favor. The first is that this is the last game of the season, so this one game is all that they're going to be worried about getting through, as opposed to a month or more. The second thing that they have in their favor is that the game-day Inactive list functions as a pseudo form of Injured Reserve. 7 players have to be inactive on Sundays on each 53-man roster throughout the league, so that 46 players can be active for the games.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two of this Sunday's inactives are already certain: <b>Cruz and JPP</b>. The other 5 will be in flux. The Giants always leave a QB inactive too on Sundays (it might be <b>Painter</b> who's inactive this week instead of <b>Nassib</b>), so that makes three. The other 4 inactives may include a TE---one of either <b>Adrien Robinson</b>, who hurt his knee on the opening kickoff of this past week's game in Detroit, or <b>Larry Donnell</b>. They may also include <b>LB Allen Bradford</b>, who has been one of the usual suspects who have wound up on the inactive list many times this season. That leaves two other openings for the inactive list this week. It makes sense that one of the two other remaining inactives would be an Offensive Lineman (<b>Brandon Mosley who broke his hand in Detroit</b> or <b>David Diehl w/a banged up knee</b> if he still isn't healthy). Here is the up-to-date list of the Giants on this week's injury report courtesy of Patricia Traina:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants only had two RBs active in last Sunday's game in Detroit, not counting FB John Conner). The final inactive spot/pseudo I.R. could go to any of these players I mentioned. What the Giants want to avoid doing is being forced into placing anyone on I.R. again, especially 2 since that would necessitate a contract restructure that would lessen their already small carryover amount of cap room into next season.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My guess is that they'll wind up placing someone on I.R. (Cruz, JPP, or A. Brown; probably Cruz), & then promote RB Kendall Gaskins (who has no accrued seasons and would cost $23,824 for a week's pay) to the 53-man roster just so that they could get through practice the rest of the week (<a href="https://twitter.com/Patricia_Traina/status/415546383374893056" target="_blank">the Giants will be working tomorrow</a>) and then sign someone to the Practice Squad for this last week---either a RB or WR. </span><b style="background-color: cyan; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Those 3 transactions would lower the Giants' cap number from $41,888 to $18,064</i></b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. In this scenario, my guess for the Giants' 7-man Inactive list as of today for the last game of the season against Washington would be as follows (with only 1 player going on I.R.):</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b style="background-color: white;">DE, JPP</b></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b style="background-color: white;">OG, Mosley</b></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b style="background-color: white;">RB, A. Brown</b></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b style="background-color: white;">TE, Robinson</b></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b style="background-color: white;">QB, Painter</b></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b style="background-color: white;">LB, Bradford</b></i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b style="background-color: white;">S, Taylor</b></i></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants may go another route all together and simply get through the last few practices this week leading up to this game by leaving everything as is, but they're really banged up, so I don't know how realistic that would be. They could also I.R. a player and opt to go with only 52 players n their roster this week as well, but I doubt that happens. Any way you cut it, by this time next week we should know how much cap space that the Giants will carry over into next year's adjusted cap. Last year the Giants carried over $1,000,000 into their adjusted cap from 2012. Next year, they'll be carrying over a fraction of that. It'll be interesting to see what happens these next few days since Tuesday is tryout day in the NFL. Wednesday is the day players turn the page and begin to officially prepare for the next week's game.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If the Giants make any roster moves for this coming week's last game of the season, we're likely to find out tomorrow, until then I hope everyone enjoys the coming days off whether you celebrate or not. Happy Holidays to everyone out there...</span><br />

I'll write up a refresher on Dead Money here in the couple of days, but I'll start with cap numbers first.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To start off, what is a cap number?? It is how much a player counts against a team's adjusted salary cap (each
team has a different adjusted salary cap). <b style="background-color: #cccccc;">A player's salary is not
necessarily the same as his cap number. Most of the time it isn't.</b> Only
about a third of the players on the Giants' roster now have a salary
that is equal to their cap number (I wrote about this in more detail in
<a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/" target="_blank">this previous article/post</a>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the sake of reference, here is the list of the 25 players on the Giants now whose cap numbers are equal to their salaries. </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">14 players are from the 53-man roster, 4 are from Injured Reserve, & 7 are from the Practice Squad</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look at Beatty's contract starting from 2013, the first year of the deal
that he signed last off-season. He received $12.5 million in guaranteed
dollars---the key for any NFL player, especially in their 2nd
contracts. Only $2.5 million of this amount counted towards the cap in 2013 (contracts
can only be prorated for no more than 5 years under <a href="http://nfllabor.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/collective-bargaining-agreement-2011-2020.pdf" target="_blank">the latest CBA agreement between the NFLPA and owners</a> signed in August of 2011; I think
it was for 6 years under the old CBA).<br />
<br />
This is why you rarely see contracts for more than 5 years under the new
CBA. This spreads the money out over the length of the 5 years---the maximum that a contract can be prorated for---unless
the contract is for a a shorter amount, as in the case of someone like <a href="http://overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Cullen%20Jenkins&Position=DT&Team=Giants" target="_blank">Cullen Jenkins</a>, who signed a three-year deal this past off-season with the Giants.<br />
<br />
When you add up the roster bonus money (nothing), off-season workout
bonus ($50,000), and workout bonuses for 2013, you get to the prorated amount
of $2.5 million for this season (workout bonuses and roster bonus are not prorated). That's it for
the bonuses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That leaves the non-guaranteed portion of the deal---the
paragraph 5 salary, a.k.a. a player's base salary. This can be
structured however the player's agent and team contract officer agree
on. In Beatty's case, it happens to be for exactly a cool million in 2013. <b>This brings his cap number to $3,550,000. His salary for 2013 though is
different. Counting his bonuses and paragraph 5 money, Beatty earned
$13,550,000 in real money in 2013.</b> This is in essence the difference between
CASH and CAP dollars, which was another issue of contention between the
players and owners that owners gave a little to the players (the only other minor concession being <a href="http://overthecap.com/explaining-the-minimum-salary-benefit/" target="_blank">the Minimum Salary Benefit</a>).<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b>What is Dead Money</b>? Let me use a food
analogy to keep things in layman's terms, as people can often relate to things better with their stomachs, especially if they're allergic to financial speak and jargon. Before I explain, first kindly keep this formula in mind as I go through the
analogy below:<br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: blue; color: #cccccc; font-size: large;">CAP NUMBER - CAP SAVINGS = DEAD MONEY</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br />
Let's say you're a poor starving college student living in a dorm.
You're hungry, and you love pizza. Guess what? There's a box with
leftover slices that your roommate liberated from a party he attended
the previous night and brought back for you. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidW2XZkHDwBbyJ93eEqwHobmaJuU7jXUR6N4M9trePUhPBgFhp_5kTYUJGZZsaVaX6EQd-nHu7dBFvF-brASdWpCKMssk5Oq0MAJ3IL2WloS5anU5mK2tlRWEKdirKgG-ccyLnKMB7RiQC/s1600/pizza+box.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidW2XZkHDwBbyJ93eEqwHobmaJuU7jXUR6N4M9trePUhPBgFhp_5kTYUJGZZsaVaX6EQd-nHu7dBFvF-brASdWpCKMssk5Oq0MAJ3IL2WloS5anU5mK2tlRWEKdirKgG-ccyLnKMB7RiQC/s320/pizza+box.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You're starving, and you
help yourself to the cold pizza in the box when you wake up. Problem is
this: you can't save all the pizza. Only half the pie is left (4
slices), but one slice is no good, and is stuck to the bottom of the
cardboard pizza box, with lots of cheese missing on top to boot.<br />
<br />
That slice is analogous to DEAD MONEY. You saved the 3 other slices (CAP
SAVINGS), but weren't able to save that poor slice stuck to the box.<br />
<br />
Apply this now to Will Beatty's contract in the 2015 season:<br />
<br />
<span class="bold" style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><i>CAP NUMBER ($8,050,000) - CAP SAVINGS ($550,000) = DEAD MONEY ($7,500,000)</i></b></span></span><br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's also apply this logic back to the pizza box. The pizza box
originally had 8 slices in it---our CAP NUMBER. You subtracted the
savings from it (4 slices), and were left with one bad slice that you
couldn't put to use, a.k.a. DEAD MONEY. In the case of the pizza box,
you had DEAD MONEY amounting to one slice. In Beatty's case, should the Giants decide to cut him in 2015, you'd be left with $7.5 Million in DEAD
MONEY.<br />
<br /><br />In summary, what's DEAD MONEY? It's the amount of a given player's CAP NUMBER that
is left over after you cut him and count CAP SAVINGS. It's the part of
the player's contract that remains on the accounting books after cutting him loose. The catch with DEAD MONEY is that it still counts towards a team's salary cap even after the player in question is off of the
team. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Free Agents walk, they have no Dead Money---unless they have <a href="http://overthecap.com/the-voidable-year-and-the-salary-cap/" target="_blank">Voidable Year deals</a> like Brandon Myers and Corey Webster currently do, but they're exceptions to
the rule. Dead Money is what you're stuck with still counting against your cap AFTER you get rid of the player---kind of like that disgusting slice of pizza.</span></div>

This figure, and the cap numbers posted below reflect <a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2013/12/giants-make-3-roster-moves-today-that.html" target="_blank">the 3 roster moves made two nights ago</a>. The only new additions to the list of cap numbers below are for WR Julian Talley--activated off of the Practice Squad, and RB Kendall Gaskins--just signed to the Practice Squad. CB Corey Webster's cap number will remain the same, with him simply going from the 53-man roster to Injured Reserve.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
These cap figures are courtesy of the Giants' Team Salary Cap page from <a data-mce-href="http://overthecap.com/teamcap.php?Team=Giants&Year=2013" href="http://overthecap.com/teamcap.php?Team=Giants&Year=2013" target="_blank" title="OverTheCap.com">OverTheCap.com</a>
run by Jason Fitzgerald (he can be followed on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/Jason_OTC" target="_blank" title="@Jason_OTC">@Jason_OTC</a>). The only player that he and I differed on cap number-wise was DT Markus Kuhn, who spent a large chunk of time this season on the PUP List. I have since corrected this discrepancy on my end, and replaced my incorrect cap number for Kuhn with Jason's (my mistake had to do with the number of weeks Kuhn's salary split was initially counted; see the update at the bottom of this article for an explanation).</span><br />

Currently, the Giants have 73 players who count towards their adjusted salary cap total of $124,049,396 for the 2013 season, not counting the estimated Dead Money total of $9,016,510 for this season, which I wrote about five days ago (click <a href="http://www.nygcapcentral.com/2013/12/giants-dead-money-totals-for-2013-2014.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> to read that article). <b>The 73 player breakdown is as follows:</b></span><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: #a2c4c9;">the players on the 53-man roster.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: #a2c4c9;">the 12 players currently on Injured Reserve.</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: #a2c4c9;">the players on the 8-man Practice Squad.</b></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Keep in mind that only a few of these 73 players have cap numbers that are equivalent to their salaries for the 2013 season. As a matter of fact, about only 34% of them do. <b>Many fans often confuse a player's salary with his cap number. The two are <u>not</u> the same.</b> <span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><i>Players who have signed one-year contracts, non-vested veterans (those with less than 4 accrued seasons credited towards free agency) who went undrafted without receiving signing bonuses, and those who were cut at least one time prior to signing or re-signing with the Giants very often have cap numbers that are equivalent to their salaries.</i></span> That's what these 25 players listed below have in common. They are as follows:</span><br />

</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7 of the 8 players on the Practice</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only one whose cap number isn't the same as his salary in this category is OG Eric Herman.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Herman was drafted by the Giants this year in the 7th round, and received a signing bonus before being cut, clearing waivers, and then being re-signed by the Giants again as a member of their Practice Squad.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I corrected an error I made with respect to calculating <i><b>Markus Kuhn's cap number</b></i>. It should be listed as Jason Fitzgerald has it: <b>$429,003</b>. I had his cap number incorrectly listed as being <i>$418,592</i>. My error was in calculating when the split rate of $303,000 stopped being in effect. I should have ended after week 6. Instead, I miscalculated, and had it end after week 7. The full rate of $480,000 kicked in as soon as Kuhn started practicing with the 53-man roster again in week 7. I was off by 1 week in my calculations. It was a careless error on my part.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As per <a href="https://nflplayers.com/reports/RunPublicReport.aspx?report=top51" target="_blank">the NFLPA's League Cap Report website</a>, <b style="background-color: orange;">the Giants are $41,888 under the salary cap. </b>They placed Corey Webster on I.R. two days ago, and promoted WR Julian Talley to the 53-man roster from their Practice Squad, followed by signing RB Kendall Gaskins to fill the Practice Squad vacancy created by the promotion of Talley. Talley's cap number is $47,647. The Giants' cap number prior to these 3 roster moves was $89,535---also last in the league.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Giants can't make any other roster moves this week without having to be forced to restructure a player contract in order to stay under the cap. As long as nothing freakish happens in practice injury-wise, and they get out of Detroit game reasonably unscathed, they'll make it through the season without having to tweak a contract in order to make it through the last 2 weeks of the season. They'll be able to I.R. someone next week (just 1) since the prorated cost to sign a player will decrease compared to this week. If Detroit lays a physical beating on the Giants, then things could get ugly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a little less than two weeks, the final carryover figures for the 20 non-playoff teams will be in. I'll write up another league-wide team cap report update then in order to reflect those figures. Without further ado, here are the cap numbers for all 32 clubs in the league:</span><br />
