These figures are courtesy of the Giants' salary cap page on OverTheCap.com. The only omission there is for OG Eric Herman. His cap number listed below is $23,824 (the lowest price that it costs to sign a player to a team's 53-man roster for a single week). I've calculated the Giants to be $24,947 under the salary cap to end the season (the lowest amount in the NFL). This is as per the NFL's public League Cap Report website. Without further ado, here are the cap numbers for the players on the Giants' 53-man roster:

The Giants' Dead Money total for 2013 has been adjusted to be $9,202,510. This is $90,000 more than the figures that I listed last week. This difference is due to an extra $90,000 in Dead money for WR Julian Talley not being previously included when they should have (this adjustment is reflected on the Giants' team salary cap page on OverTheCap.com). 40 players are listed below for the Giants' Dead Money total this season. Their breakdown is as follows:
- 31 of them are off the team completely
- 6 are currently on the 53-man roster
- 2 are currently on the Practice Squad
- 1 is on Injured Reserve
The Dead Money amounts for all 40 of these players, as well as their status with the team, are as follows:

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 (@NYGCapCentral) 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 Trading Places...
