That number will obviously change once Justin Pugh signs. Once that happens, it should go down approximately $961,436 (Pugh's expected cap number of $1,517,436 - the 51st ranked cap number on the team now belonging to Spencer Paysinger of $556,000). If all things stay as they are now, then the Giants' cap number in that instance would be $2,347,246.
As stated previously numerous times here, Nassib's cap number will not effect the Giants' salary cap at this time due to the Top 51 Rule being in effect. Once the Top 51 Rule ceases on Thursday, September 5th at midnight EST, then team salary caps will include the 52nd and 53rd men on the roster, to go along with the practice squad, players on the PUP list (expect Kuhn and maybe even Hynoski to be on that list, with the possibility of JPP being on it also), and IR. Since Nassib will be on the team come opening day, his cap number will count then, but won't until then, assuming of course that he signs with the team and he stays off of IR.
