This episode breaks down how the New York Giants can create real 2026 cap space and reshape the roster before more than twenty players hit free agency. Base projections put the Giants between seventeen and twenty-eight million under the 2026 cap, but targeted veteran cuts could increase that total dramatically. Moving on from Jon Runyan Jr would clear more than nine million, Bobby Okereke another nine, James Hudson more than five, Graham Gano four and a half, and Devin Singletary more than five million. Together, those moves create more than thirty-three million in space before even touching restructures or extensions. With players like Wan’Dale Robinson, Micah McFadden, Cor’Dale Flott, Jermaine Eluemunor, Daniel Bellinger, Dane Belton, and several others scheduled for free agency in 2026, these decisions will define the shape of the team going forward.

We also preview the Giants’ Week 15 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Washington enters on an eight-game losing streak and is fresh off a 31–0 loss to Minnesota. Jayden Daniels is out again after aggravating last week’s injury, giving Marcus Mariota another start. Washington’s passing attack has struggled all year, averaging under two hundred yards per game, while the run game has remained strong even after losing Austin Ekeler in Week 2 to an Achilles tear. Their defense has been one of the league’s weakest, allowing more than twenty-seven points and nearly four hundred yards per game, and injuries have hit every level of the unit. Dorance Armstrong, Javontae Jean-Baptiste, and Deatrich Wise Jr are out, Drake Jackson is questionable, and the secondary is missing Marshon Lattimore and Trey Amos with Jonathan Jones also banged up. This matchup gives the Giants an opportunity to evaluate who is still competing for a role in 2026 once the cap decisions begin.
