Here’s how much money Giants saved by trading down in draft
Giants saved themselves some money last week
Not only did the New York Giants acquire a load of draft picks when they traded down from the 11th overall pick in the first round to the 20th overall pick, but the move will also save them some money.
As Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com points out, the Giants will save $940,000.
It amounts to an approximate $940,000 difference in cap space in 2020, and $5.1 million over the life of the initial four-year contract — and more if you factor in the fifth-year team option.
Here’s how much the Giants saved by trading back in the second round to select Georgia edge rusher Azeez Ojulari.
