The New York Giants finally solved their cap nightmare. But they did it in one of the riskiest ways they could have. According to ESPN's Field Yates, hours before the start of the regular season, the front office restructured Andrew Thomas’ five-year, $117 million contract and freed up $12.2 million in 2025 cap space. They really had no other option. They were just about $9.6 million over the cap and couldn’t field a roster without making a move.
The restructure brings them to roughly $3 million under the threshold. It’s a temporary fix, and some more cap gymnastics are likely on their way.
