The New York Giants committed 8.7 percent of their salary cap (roughly $13.5 million) to the wide receiver position in 2016. The NFL announced recently that next year’s cap is set at $167 million which, including a $1.8 million rollover from last season, leaves Big Blue at $168.8 million. With Victor Cruz’s salary coming off the books last month, the Giants currently have 6.99 percent of that (roughly $10.7 million) pledged to receivers for 2017. Assuming GM Jerry Reese allocates the same cap percentage to the position, give or take 20 percent of the total dollar amount, the Giants have about $4-6 million to spend on Cruz’s replacement.
