being a New York Giants fan, somebody who covers the New York Giants. But hopefully if you locate that quarterback and he can elevate the rest of the team around you, some of these guys were about to go over, then they can finally remove that scaffolding and be a respectable franchise again. And one more thing before we get into it. Please, if you can do us a favor, it's the dullest time of the off season besides June, I believe, or July, that range before training camp starts.

It's really going to help us. Leave a comment too. Bombin can be about what we talk about or could be anything. It could be a question for a future mailbag. But please do us a favor. Help this algorithm grow or help us get up the algorithm. At the time of the year we need to grow because we're about to put in a lot of work and put a lot of content out on this page about the draft.

You could check back to last year, the year we need to grow because we're about to put in a lot of work and put a lot of content out on this page about the draft you could check back to last year the year before that and see

the type of content that I'm talking about we had a video a day each of the last two aprils

and a ton of content in March we had interviews on more than that we had interviews with

draft experts we had interviews with former quarterbacks.

We had our own content, our evaluations based on tape of these players, this or that. We had content

about who the Giants are meeting with, pre-draft visits, everything. We basically, anything you

could want when it comes to the draft and Giants, this is going to be your page. And it's proven to be

that the last few years. But we need help to get eyeballs on the page when that happened. So please do me a favor. Hit the like button, write a comment. Hit the like button, write a comment. Subscribe if you haven't subscribed. Get people to subscribe. The scribe numbers. We're hoping to get to 10K before the draft. Doesn't look like it's happening unless we get more people. So the only way to do that is by moving up the algorithm. So it's my

pitch. I'll probably start doing it more often because we need your help. And it's as simple as that,

really. But Nick, let's start with the 2024 or 2025, I should say, going into the 2025 offseason,

their current salary cap situation. Go over with me, Nick, a little primer on do we have dead cat money on us

how much dead cat money do we have cap space where does our cap space rank among the rest of the

NFL first i think it's important that we actually reflect a little bit on the 2024 season because

the new york giant 82 and a half million in dead cap. Wow. In 2024. Now, context matters.

A lot of that was because the Giants parted ways with Daniel Jones. That was 47 million.

But this 82.5 number ranked second in the league. A lot of this was absorbed through, like I said, the Jones contract, but it was also because the Giants had acknowledged at that point, hey, we're not going to play Jones because of his contractual stipulations that say there's an injury guarantee and we're not going to screw ourselves later. We're basically punting the season because we suck anyways. Hopefully we'll get the number one pick. Giants had the number one pick and then they won a game and now they dropped the three. I digress. But Jones made up 47 mil of that 82.5.

Leonard Williams made up 10, or 10 million of that 82.5.

And then Adory Jackson actually made up 2.9, so 3 million of that 82.5, which is funny because when the Giants,

I think it was when the Giants restructured Adori's contract in 22 when Joe Shane first came in.

And then Adori was not retained.
