Giants Struggle with Cap, Eyeing Van Roten

0:00On March 31st, the New York Giants keep stacking moves this offseason, but they're still short on cash and hunting for interior offensive line help. They just cut veteran kicker Graham Gano, freeing up 4.5 million in cap space, leaving them with about 7.45 million. Total. That's tight for landing a big name line man right now. General manager Joe Shone spilled the beans at the NFL annual meeting in Phoenix, saying they're a bit light on funds, but still chasing free agents. One name floating around is 35 year old guard Greg Van Rotten, who snapped every offensive play for them the last two seasons. Fans and analysts see the pressure building since the lines are glaring whole, and Van Rotten fits as a short term fix, though the team wants younger. Blood to build around long term. Showin' didn't shut the door and resigning him, but cap limits make it tricky. He's steering clear of void years and contracts, those tricks that push dead money down the road, like maxing out a credit card. Maybe a huge deal would tempt him that way, keeping the books clean.
