Before I start with the remix edition to the mock offseason, I would like to clarify that I am not trying to present what I would do if I was running the team mock, but rather just a potential scenario. By doing so it allows me the freedom to present different FA and draft additions than just regurgitate the guys that I am personally hoping for/commonly seen in mock drafts.
The Giants currently have a 3 year window to be spenders, and any contracts that are signed should be done like the FA last year in which they are shorter deals, or have easy out for the latter years in longer deals. May sound funny to say they have a window now to be spenders when they have very little money currently in CAP space (barring a miracle and the owners putting a pause on the cap due to Covid-19 instead outright slashing the CAP space some 25 million per team). Their reason for being spenders is due to the fact that Jones is on his rookie contract. Once that is up the luxury of not having the teams QB cost 10-25% of your teams total cap is over with. So if the Giants want to be players the time is now, they just need to get creative with the contracts. Although the contract should be smartly done in a way that once Jones is up to be re-signed many of the contracts are coming to an end or have easy out’s on the remaining money. This is the time the Giants have to be a little more extravagant in the FA market trying to build up the roster to maximize the opportunity this window gives the Giants brass to do so.
