I am with you Lenn

If Waller retires. That frees up much needed funds. Where would you like to see the giants use it? I would like to see us get a serviceable guard or since our secondary is so damn young...getting a serviceable CB probably be the best option. Adoree' Jackson might be the way to go? Perhaps Xavien Howard or Stephon Gilmore ?

We gave up a 3rd round for this? Just when I thought Waller couldn't do any worse....then comes this "song".
What do you think Kelsey Plum is thinking? I feel bad for this guy, what the xxxx was he thinking.

The details of the NFL salary cap are often confusing, and the rules around post-June 1 cuts can seem even more complicated. Let's take a closer look at the NFL's post-June 1 regulations, what the post-June 1 designation means, and how it affects teams and players.


NFL Post-June 1 Cut

Let's start with a straightforward NFL release that occurs at the beginning of the new league year in March. If a team cuts a player at any point before June 1, all of his future guarantees and remaining prorated signing bonus will immediately "accelerate" onto the club's salary cap.

The team is forced to absorb all of those charges at once. The cap space being allocated toward a player no longer on the roster is referred to as "dead money."

However, the NFL's post-June 1 rule states that any player released or traded after June 1 will have his dead money spread over two seasons instead of only the current campaign.

For example, let's say a player has three years remaining on his contract with prorated signing bonus money of $5 million each season. Were he to be released or traded before June 1, his team would take on $15 million in dead money in 2024: three seasons at $5 million per.

But if the club waited until June 2 to trade or release that player, the post-June 1 rules would come into play. The team would still incur the player's $5 million dead money charge for 2024, but the remaining $10 million would be pushed to the 2025 salary cap.


NFL Post-June 1 Designation


Still, teams don't always want to wait until June 2 to cut a player because he could have roster bonuses or other guarantees that could kick in during the interim.

Meanwhile, players don't want to be held captive on a roster all spring only to be released in June when most clubs have already used the majority of their cap space.

To fix those problems, NFL teams can use a post-June 1 designation when releasing a player. The player will immediately hit the open market, while the club can still realize the benefits of a post-June 1 cut without having to actually wait to release the player.

Teams can use the post-June 1 designation on two players each season.

However, there is one significant drawback to the post-June 1 designation: Clubs have to carry the player's full cap charge for the current season until June, even though he is no longer on the roster.

Because the club doesn't get to realize the additional cap space until June 2, post-June 1 designations aren't helpful in creating immediate cap room for teams who want to sign free agents in March. However, the designations can help clubs that project to be tight on cap space later in the summer when it's time to sign rookie classes.

One final, essential note: There is no post-June 1 designation for trades. A team can wait until after June 1 to process a trade and will see the same cap benefits we outlined, but they cannot trade a player in April and designate the deal as a post-June 1 trade.

So does this mean bye-bye Darren Waller? And anyone else?

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 11, 2024, 01:31:25 PMOr the worst draft if JJ McCarthy balls out.

Ed you could say the same thing if Nix or Penix balls out too. Just because McCarthy does well with the Viking doesn't mean he would do the same on the Giants. The Vikings have a better roster, better line protection, better weapons on offense. I expect McCarthy to do well. In fact, I was a huge fan of his and I believe posted the first thread on him in October ...when it sadly looked like our season was already over. Thats how shitty this roster is/was, again, IMO we did the right thing in this years draft.

Is the Giants' 2024 roster better than the one Joe Schoen inherited after the 2021 season?


Is the New York Giants' roster today better than the one Joe Schoen inherited from Dave Gettleman when he took over as general manager in 2022?

There are 11 players on the current 90-man roster who were drafted or signed by Gettleman. They are:

WR Darius Slayton, LT Andrew Thomas, DT Dexter Lawrence, edge Azeez Ojulari, CB Aaron Robinson, PK Graham Gano, LS Casey Kreiter, RB Gary Brightwell, LB Carter Coughlin, CB Darnay Holmes, QB Daniel Jones.




A breakdown:

Yes, the Giants won the draft simply because New England didn't take their offer. It is said that the Giants offered pick 6 and next year's 1st round pick to swap places with New England.


So, we take Maye, no weapons, questionable O-line, and no 1st round in the 2025 season? If this was done, it's very conceivable the Giants would have the #1 overall pick in 2025, which would have gone to New England.


It is also possible Joe Schoen would have been on the hot seat in 2026, these events would damage a already damaged franchise IMO. Dave Gettelman had four years with the Giants, to help turn the tide and the results were nothing to brag about. We are in year 3 of Joe Schoen's GM run.


We did the right things in this year's draft. I do suspect our record won't be very good. I also believe we will be picking in the top 5 in 2025, if true, the 2025 draft will be Schoen's legacy. He has to get our QB.


Sanders, Beck and Ewers are QBs that will be in play. Some might add Cameron Ward to the list. Regardless, for Joe Schoen, the 2025 draft needs to be his moment and again he lucky New England turned him down.

Some of the ref calls were suspect

Neal has missed 14 games his first two seasons, can that explain some of the poor performance?
