[bababoey]

There is something about this trade I like I just can't put my finger on it

Lol, Gettleman once again, endearing himself to his fanbase...  all while making things more difficult for us.  JPP is still a great DE.

f u Gettleman.

Gettleman loves his hog mollies. Has he been targeting Bradley Chubb all along?

I posted awhile back that it would be interesting to see if Gettleman would be able to resist the temptation to take Chubb. We all know he loves his big mollies and pass rushers. Looks like he just paved the way to justifying that pick.

Bucs might become dangerous if Bradley Chubb falls to them in the draft

Meanwhile we sit here with no secondary and could trade a late pick for a corner but our GM would rather convince the fanbase that having a defensive line matters the most. We will be giving up a lot of big plays this year and drafting a top secondary player is still going to be prone to mistakes.

For those that care about the cap ramifications. The Giants are in fact saving 2.5 Million in cap space this year from the move. 

JPP was scheduled to count 17.5 Million against the cap this year.  Now that he's been traded he will still count 15 million against the cap in dead money. So this move does clear 2.5 Million in cap space this year. Reason being last year he signed a 4 year deal with a 20 million signing bonus. Only 5 Million of that cap hit had been accounted for. The other 15 was to be divided evenly over the next 3 years, however once he was traded the remaining signing bonus has to be accounted for this year. 

Still a tough pill to swallow to have your 3rd highest cap hit and 9.5% of your total cap going to a player who is no longer on the roster. 

The Buc's meanwhile are on the hook for 12.5 Million this year  (fully guaranteed). After this year they could cut him with 0 dead money. However if they keep him they are looking at the following cap hits.

14.5 Million in 19 and 12.5 in 20.

I wonder what he would give us for Hall.

Whenever a big name player goes to the Bucs they almost always become a disappointment. Not worried.

Lordy.

That's a tough one to swallow.

If anything, it shows, pay upfront, not on the backend.  I hate pushing money forward.

Giants now have over 40 million in cap space allocated to the D-line this year. 

• 17 Million to Vernon
• 15 Million to Pierre Paul
• 9.6 Million to Harrison

and they only have 1 staring caliber DE on the roster.

Holy crap, have you seen his hand. Jamis already a W!
