One of of the reasons the New York Giants have been scrambling for salary cap space this year is that they overspent the past few years on free agents that haven’t moved the needle for them.
Last year, the Giants signed wide receiver Kenny Golladay $72 million over four years with $40 million guaranteed. Truth be told, other teams wanted him but not at that price. Golladay was coming off an injury-shortened season and was in line for more of a ‘prove-it’ deal but the Giants felt he was worth franchise-level money.
