The New York Giants have made another move to clear cap space ahead of the new league year. Last week, the Giants made news when they cut Golden Tate and David Mayo to clear about $8.5 million in salary-cap space. They also restructured Levin Toilolo’s contract and cut Cody Core. Now, the Giants have made another, cutting starting right guard Kevin Zeitler in order to save $9.6 million in cap space.
The Giants were $8 million over the cap prior to this move. Placing the franchise tag on Leonard Williams put New York over the cap and they have been working hard to get back under before the deadline next week.
