If you’re a New York Giants fan hoping the team somehow pries DeShaun Watson away from the Houston Texans, your dream probably died with Saturday night’s Matthew Stafford-Jared Goff blockbuster trade.

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
