New York Giants: 2018 offseason prediction through the draft

Dwayne Harris

Some Giants fans may be wondering who this guy is, because you didn’t see much of Harris in 2017. That’s because Harris only played in 96 total snaps in 2017. He played on eight offensive snaps and 88 special teams snaps.

He got paid $51,042 per snap and produced 256 yards and zero touchdowns. So, basically, he was just roster filler to fill the roster to 53 men and nothing else. He’s due $4.05 million in 2018 and will only see $800,000. The Giants will be willing to absorb the $1.6 million cap hit to cut him, because they’re going to save 61.25 percent of his salary.

Pardon the unintentional pun, but there’s no return on investment for the return specialist. He really can’t provide them with anything on offense, and his special teams work was dismal. The Giants will have to find another solution at that spot, and they have enough depth at wide receiver to handle the blow of losing him.

This move will go widely unnoticed by the fans, because they probably didn’t even notice when he played in the first place, because he was hardly ever around. It’s a must cut of a non-descript player. He must go.

Salary Cap Analysis

After those three moves, the Giants will only have $37,318,818 in cap space to sign their own free agents, outside free agents, and draft picks. So this offseason is going to be a tricky one to maneuver for Dave Gettleman.
