Summary

Dan and Nick dive into the salary cap mess that the former Giants regime created with their "all-in for 2021" approach by providing an 8-step plan to create over $40M in salary cap space while also (unfortunately) taking on a hefty chunk of dead cap. But that's the theme of today's pod -- EMBRACE THE DEAD CAP! Joe Schoen has done it before with Brandon Beane in Buffalo so why not do it again? They talk players to cut, players to trade, what they can get, how much cap space each decision creates and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Today we're here to break down the giant salary cap situation as we head into the 22

offseason. What it means for today, what it means for today, what it means

0:56.5

for tomorrow, what it means for 2022, 2023, and beyond. Before we do that, I did want to say, a little

1:02.6

update on my end. I am on a little bit of a two-week vacation. I'll be working a little bit during

1:06.8

this vacation, but you might not hear as much of me on Twitter as you normally do. And we'll be trying to pump out podcast, but we shall see. It's a dead time, though. I don't feel as bad about doing it now. It's a much better time to do it now rather than during free agency, during maybe, you know, the draft, which I would never do or anything leading up to the draft where we plan to pump out a ton of content. But I'm enjoying myself.

1:28.1

You know, this is the one time I get to do it while working in, you know, with CBS sports in the in the football industry right after the Super Bowl. So taking my time down in Texas right now, doing a little bit of Austin, San Antonio. It's great down here. I got to be honest. It's 70 and sunny every day. Yeah, I love it. Phoenix is the same exact way. Are you going to Terry Blacks, bro?

1:44.6

Are you going to Terry Blacks, bro?

1:46.4

I'm going to switch it up this time. So I've now done Austin. This is my fourth time doing Austin. It's an incredible city. I would live here if I could if it wasn't as expensive. And if I had any family or friends down here. But I've done Franklin's barbecue, which is my opinion, is that by far and away the best barbecue in the country without a doubt. Now, Franklin's for sure, you either have to wait on a line that starts at 6 a.m. and then you don't get your food until like I've heard like mid afternoon. Or you pull the hack, which we've done twice now on two bachelor parties, which is you order ahead of time and you order takeout, and then you could just order it for a certain time.

2:21.0

You don't have to wait on the line as long as you takeout.
