RUMORS: New York Giants expected to pursue Jadeveon Clowney aggressively, here’s why they shouldn’t

Error 0:

The New York Giants have been linked to star pass rusher, Jadeveon Clowney, this off-season, but general manager Dave Gettleman should be careful where he allocates his money. The Giants are expected to have around $80 million in open space to spend his free agency, but Clowney is asking for upwards of $22 million per season. That would slash about 25% of the Giants’ cap right off the bat, almost totaling their entire allocation towards the defense currently, at $29 million.

Considering Gettleman intends to enter the 2020 regular season with $20 million in cap space left over, signing Clowney would ultimately write off 50% of all the allocations they have to spend this off-season.
