The release of linebacker Bobby Okereke on Tuesday night by the New York Giants promises to be the first of several cuts as the Giants look to both create salary cap space and restructure the roster to head coach John Harbaugh\u2019s liking.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s look at who might be out the door next.<\/p>\n
PK Graham Gano \u2014 Cap savings: $4.5M | Dead money: $1.25M
OT James Hudson \u2014 Cap savings: $5.38M | Dead money: $2.305M
RB Devin Singletary \u2014 Cap savings: $5.25M | Dead money: $1.25M<\/p>\n
After three straight injury-riddled seasons, I don\u2019t think there is any chance Harbaugh signs on for the Graham Gano Experience. The lack of discipline Hudson showed last season makes him a clear cut candidate. Singletary makes too much money to be RB3.<\/p>\n
G Jon Runyan Jr. \u2014 Cap savings: $9.25M | Dead money: $2.5M
WR Jalin Hyatt \u2014 Cap savings: $1.52M | Dead money: $272,785
P Jamie Gillan \u2014 Cap savings: $2.85M | Dead money: $666,668
LB Chris Board \u2014 Cap savings: $2.1M | Dead money: $1.25M
DT Roy Robertson-Harris \u2014 Cap savings: $3.35M | Dead money: $2.4M<\/p>\n
Releasing Runyan would be the biggest savings. How much restructuring of the offensive line does Harbaugh want?<\/p>\n
The one player not on this list is cornerback Deonte Banks. The Giants may move on from the 2023 first-round pick, but it won\u2019t be for cap purposes. The Giants would incur a $4.32 million cap hit with no cap savings if they cut Banks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The release of linebacker Bobby Okereke on Tuesday night by the New York Giants promises to be the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":791577,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,7558,24585,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-791576","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-free-agency","13":"tag-new-york-giants-salary-cap","14":"tag-newyork","15":"tag-newyorkgiants","16":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116171373645124102","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=791576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/791577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=791576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=791576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=791576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
