Once the Giants start paying Odell Beckham like a star quarterback in 2019, how long will it be until they have to pay their quarterback like a young wide receiver?
Not long, suggests the NFL model.
The strategy for winning while fitting 53 players under the NFL salary cap is to only have one or two salary cap hits at or above the $17 million mark,. In 2019, the Giants are scheduled to have four: Manning ($23.2 million), Beckham ($21 million), linebacker Olivier Vernon ($19.5 million) and left tackle Nate Solder ($17 million).
