One of the things a lot of people forget, Schoen inherited a "cap hell" situation, which delays a rebuild if you stay focused on fixing the cap. And it seems, Schoen has done a decent job of getting it into reasonable shape
The joke I told yesterday was so funny that,
apparently, HR wants to hear it tomorrow  :laugh:

The only way a team sustains cap health, long-term, is to consistently draft well.  That has not been the case for the Giants for a long time.

Not sure anyone has forgotten it, but he did sign Jones to that extension and made a good but expensive trade and sign with Burns.   Further, missing on OL in the draft has caused the team to have to sign OL annually for more than draft picks would cost.

IMO, for a team that has been as poor as the Giants, the cap isn't great right now.
