Although it costs $14.7 million to cut him, the Giants save almost $7 million by giving him the boot. I really wouldn’t be surprised to see him with the Rams next season.
I think the Giants might want to let him test the FA market. If GB makes the playoffs it will be the only playoff team they beat, and that was early in the season. There’s a reason why they didn’t exercise the 5th year option. Reports out of NY are that Taylor may start the final game and let Jones sit. Jones may want to play because Taylor is likely to prove that he can be every bit as good as he has been under center.
Geez… that REALLY makes that comp pick look good.
I was just happy we didn’t pay KG… and I felt the same 2 months before he signed with the Giants. Never wavered on that one!!!
Saints signed WR Michael Thomas to a restructured contract.
The restructured deal reduces his 2023 base salary from $15.5 million to $1.2 million while adding a $31.8 million roster bonus in 2024. Thomas also received a $900K signing bonus. The renegotiation sets the stage for the Saints to move on from Thomas this offseason, as his 2024 salary becomes fully guaranteed if he’s on the roster the third day of the new league year. Thomas will likely be designated a post-June cut if he’s not back, allowing the Saints to spread his remaining guarantees over the next two years. Releasing Thomas results in a total dead-cap charge of $26 million for the Saints.
