Graham Gano release gives Giants cap relief — here are 3 ways to use it
The Giants created about $4.5 million in cap space — who should they add to their renevated roster?
Calais Campbell | Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The New York Giants released veteran kicker Graham Gano this week and saved about $4. 5-million on the cap.
The move was expected after New York signed Jason Sanders earlier this month. New York is not flush with cap space, but there are still decisions that could create space in the immediate. The roster is taking shape around head coach John Harbaugh’s vision, but there are still key spots that need to be upgraded.
With the draft less than a month away, New York may not be done with free agency. Here are three names to consider. Calais Campbell, IDL Not to beat this dead horse — but I will until the option is exhausted — but Calais Campbell would be an ideal signing for the New York Giants.
The almost 40-year-old is 6-foot-8, 285 pounds, and is coming off a 33-pressure season where he recorded 24 STOPS in 524 snaps. He’s still highly productive on a per-snap basis, and he would be an excellent fit in BASE personnel as a 4i-shade next to Dexter Lawrence. Campbell is a widely respected veteran who has been in the league since 2008.
