Giants' Singletary Takes Pay Cut, Team Prioritizes Flexibility

0:00It's March 7th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. The New York Giants running back Devon Singletary just agreed to a big pay cut on his contract. He was set to make $5 million this year under his three-year deal worth $16,500,000. Now he will earn just $1,300,000, plus up to $1,000,000 in incentives based on yards and snaps. Thousands of incentives kick in for things like rushing over 1100 scrimmage yards or playing more than half the snaps. But with Cam's Catebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. ahead of him on the Dept chart, hitting those marks looks tough for Singletary right now. This move helps the Giants free up cap space, putting their top 51 figure around $22 million. Fans and analysts see it as a sign the team is stepping back from chasing top free agent backs this off season. Here reports had the Giants as major players in the running back market, but this deal changes that outlook. It shows they are prioritizing flexibility over big spending at the position.
