With the worst salary cap situation in the NFL, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has already been forced to reach for what he said would be a “last resort” to create cap space. The Giants have restructured the contract of cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, kicking money into future years.
Per Field Yates of ESPN, the Giants converted $8.965 million of Jackson’s contract into a signing bonus. The move created $5.98 million in cap space for 2022.
Per Over The Cap, Jackson’s base salary for 2022 is now $1.035 million and his cap hit is $9.
