NY Giants free agency contracts, salary cap tracker

With all contracts except that of safety Elijah Campbell now accounted for, the New York Giants have $4.221 million in salary cap space under the Top 51 rule, according to Spotrac.

Campbell's one-year contract won't take much cap space, as another contract will drop off the list once it is on the books.

The contract of placekicker Graham Gano is still taking up $5.75 million in cap space. With Jason Sanders and Ben Sauls on the roster, Gano seems certain to be cut at some point. Perhaps he is still on the roster because he cannot yet pass a physical and the Giants don't want to release him while on the hook for an injury settlement. That much is uncertain. When Gano is removed from the roster, the Giants will gain $4.5 million in cap space. That would bring them to roughly $8.75 million in cap space.

The Giants still need to clear more cap space. It will be interesting to see how they do it.

Jason Pinnock

Total: One-year, $1.4025 million
Fully guaranteed money: $200,000 (Signing bonus + $100,000 of salary)
Base salary: $1.215 million
Prorated signing bonus: $100,000
Per game roster bonus: $62,500 | $3,676 per game
Workout bonus: $25,000
Cap number: $1.2625 million

Josh Ezeudu

Total: One-year, $1.3 million
Fully guaranteed money: $410,300 (Signing bonus + $330,300 of salary)
Base salary: $1.145 million
Prorated signing bonus: $80,000
Per game roster bonus: None listed
Workout bonus: $25,000
Cap number: $1.25 million

Ezeudu got something Evan Neal did not - guaranteed money. He got $410,300 of it, which is far more than veteran guard Aaron Stinnie ($62,500) received. He will have to earn it, of course, but this tells me the Giants think there is a decent chance Ezeudu can make the roster, perhaps as a four-position backup. As much as I would like to see him allowed to focus just on guard, the only current backup tackle on the roster other than Ezeudu is Marcus Mbow.

Aaron Stinnie

Total: One-year, $1.4875 million
Fully guaranteed money: $62,500
Base salary: $1.3 million
Prorated signing bonus: $62,500
Per game roster bonus: $100,000 | $5,882 per game
Workout bonus: $25,000
Cap number: $1.2625 million

Prorated signing bonus: $1.785 million
Per game roster bonus: None listed

Isaiah Likely

Total: Three years, $40 million
Fully guaranteed money: $26 million
Base salary: 2026 - $1.35 million | 2027 - $12.85 million | 2028 - $10.65 million
Prorated signing bonus: $12.5 million ($4,166,667 million annually)
Per game roster bonus: $1.35 million ($450,000 annually | $26,470 per game)
Workout bonus: $200,000 annually
Cap number: 2026 - $6.087 million | 2027 - $17.666 million | $16.166 million

I have been asked if the Giants overpaid for Likely. The answer is we won't know until we see his production.

Greg Newsome

Total: One-year, $8 million
Fully guaranteed money: $3 million
Base salary: $4 million
Prorated signing bonus: $3 million
Per game roster bonus: $750,000 ($44,117 per game)
Workout bonus: $250,000
Cap number: $8 million

Calvin Austin

Total: One-year, $1.5 million
Fully guaranteed money: $450,000
Base salary: $1.2 million
Prorated signing bonus: $250,000
Per game roster bonus: None
Workout bonus: $50,000
Cap number: $1.5 million

This is a fantastic deal for the Giants. Amazing that this is all Austin was able to get on the open market.

Tremaine Edmunds

Total: Three years, $36 million
Fully guaranteed money: $23.7 million
Base salary: 2026 - $1.35 million | 2027 - $11.85 million | 2028 - $9.85 million
Guaranteed salary: 2026 - $1.25 million | 2027 - $11.35 million | 2028 - $0
Prorated signing bonus: $11 million ($3,666,666 per year ... $3,666,668 in 2028)
Per game roster bonus: $1.35 million | ($450,000 per year | $26,470 per gam)
Workout bonus: $200,00 per year
Cap number: 2026 - $5.56 million | 2027 - $16.166 million | 2028 - $14.166 million

I am not crazy about how much this contract escalates in Year 2. The Giants can get out of this contract in 2028 with $10.5 million cap savings and just a $3.666 million cap hit.

Jordan Stout

Total: Three years, $12.3 million
Fully guaranteed money: $7.3 million
Base salary: 2026 - $$1.215 million | 2027 - $3.105 million | 2028 - $3.66 million
Guaranteed salary: N/A
Prorated signing bonus: $3 million ($1 million annually)
Per game roster bonus: $1.2 million ($340,000 annually | $20,000 per game)
Workout bonus: $100,000 annually
Cap number: 2026 - $2.655 million | 2027 - $4.545 million | 2028 - $5.1 million

The Giants could get out of this contract with no dead money in 2028 by designating Stout a post-June 1 cut. If they did so, there would be $4.1 million in cap savings.

Ar'Darius Washington

Total: One-year, $3 million
Fully guaranteed money: $1.5 million
Base salary: $1.9 million
Guaranteed salary: $1 million
Prorated signing bonus: $500,000
Per game roster bonus: $500,000 ($29,411 per game)
Workout bonus: $100,000
Cap number: $2.617 million

Jermaine Eluemunor

Total: Three years, $39 million
Fully guaranteed money: $25.45 million
Base salary: 2026 - $1.3 million | 2027 - $12.4 million | 2028 - $11.35 million
Guaranteed salary: 2026 - $1.3 million | 2027 - $12.15 million | 2028 - $0
Prorated signing bonus: $12 million ($4 million per year)
Per game roster bonus: $1.35 million ($450,000 per year | $26,471 per game)
Workout bonus: $200,000 per year
Cap number: 2026 - $5.923 million | 2027 - $17.05 million | 2028 - $16 million

If the Giants were to choose to, they could get out of Eluemunor's contract before the 2028 season with $4 million in dead money and $12 million in cap savings.

Patrick Ricard

Total: Two years, $7.63 million
Fully guaranteed money: $3.54 million
Base salary: 2026 - $1.34 million | 2027 - $2.34 million
Guaranteed salary: 2026 - $1.34 million | 2027 - $0
Prorated signing bonus: $2.2 million
Per game roster bonus: $800,000 ($400,000 per year | $23,529 per game)
2027 roster bonus: $750,000 due if on the roster on the fifth day of the 2027 league year
Workout bonus: $100,000 per year
Cap number: 2026 - $2.798 million | 2027 - $4.69 million

In effect, this is a one-year contract. The Giants can get out of it in 2027 with $1.1 million in dead money while saving $3.59 million against the cap.

Chris Manhertz

Total: One-year, $1.4875 million
Fully guaranteed money: $262,500
Base salary: $1.3 million
Prorated signing bonus: $62,500
Per game roster bonus: $100,000
Workout bonus: $25,000
Guaranteed salary: $200,000
Cap number: $1.2625 million

If Manhertz somehow failed to make the roster the Giants would be out only $262,500.

Jason Sanders

Total: One-year, $1.425 million
Fully Guaranteed Money: $300,000
Base salary: $1.3 million
Guaranteed salary: $200,000
Prorated Signing Bonus: $100,000
Workout bonus: $25,000
Cap Number: $1.2 million

The contract, with only $300,000 guaranteed, makes it pretty clear the Giants are not handing Sanders their placekicking job. He will have to beat out Ben Sauls to earn it.

Isaiah Hodgins

Total: One-year, $1.24 million
Fully Guaranteed Money: $0
Base salary: $1.215 million
Guaranteed salary: $0
Prorated Signing Bonus: $0
Per Game Roster Bonus: $0
Workout bonus: $25,000
Cap Number: $1.1 million

Evan Neal

Total: One-year, $1.215 million
Fully guaranteed money: $0
Base salary: $1.215 million
Guaranteed salary: $0
Prorated bigning bonus: $0
Per Game roster bonus: $0
Workout bonus: $0
Cap number: $1.075 million

It is pretty clear the Giants are guaranteeing Neal nothing but an opportunity. They recoup the full $1.075 million if he does not make the roster.
