Giants' Free Agency Moves, Cap Space Strategies

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 18th. The New York Giants have been active in free agency this off-season, adding depth without breaking the bank. Their biggest deals went to linebacker Tremaine Edmonds and tight end Isaiah likely. As of Wednesday afternoon, they sit with just $5.41 million in cap space, the third lowest in the league. They signed all three exclusive rights free agents for a bit over $1 million each. The team resigned two restricted free agents out of four, brought in eight unrestricted free agents from other squads, and kept eight of their own. Plus, they grabbed three players cut by other teams right at the league year's start. To pull off these moves, the Giants restructured outside linebacker, Brian Burns' contract, freeing up $15.1 million in cap space. Most of that cash has already gone toward more signings. Starting ahead, they need just over $10 million for their seven draft picks, and another 10 to 12 million for the season. Cutting kicker Graham Gano after a physical could say $4.5 million.

1:04Restructures on left tackle, Andrew Thomas, or defensive tackle, Dexter Lawrence, who has the biggest cap hit at $36.95 million. Dollars makes sense too. Cap space shifts quickly this time of year, and these numbers might not reflect every recent transaction. The Giants stay flexible as they build for the long haul.
