The Athletic’s Dan Duggan detailed how the Giants’ $6 million in cap space will essentially be negated by the $6 million the Giants inked their 2024 NFL Draft picks too. If Waller retires, he will save the team $6.7 million if it comes before June 1 and $11.6 million if announced after June 1 (h/t Heavy Sports’ Michael Obermuller).
