The New York Giants are planning major roster changes this offseason under the new John Harbour coaching regime. They want more salary cap space to build a tougher team. One big move could be cutting left guard John Rungen Jr., who signed a three-year $30 million deal last March. Rungen started every game last season alongside veteran Greg Van Roten, because of thin depth on the line. At 29 years old, he showed some good moments, but did not live up to the contract overall. Experts at Pro Football Focus ranked his play 52nd out of 79 guards, with a grade of 52.9. Fans and analysts see him as a possible cap casualty, since the team needs better protection up front. Releasing him would free up $9,250,000 in cap space. That money could help as they head into free agency and hold the number five pick in the 2026
