The NFL salary cap was raised to $255 million per team this offseason, which led to clubs going on mini-spending sprees.
For the New York Giants, they allocated their space all over the board, but in the end, the offense is where the biggest investments were made.
In a recent analysis of each team’s financial makeup of their roster, stat guru Warren Sharp revealed the Giants are spending $149.8 million — or 58 percent — of their cap resources on their offense in 2024.
That is the sixth-highest in the NFL and it’s without re-signing star running back Saquon Barkley, who left for Philadelphia via free agency.

Leading the way, naturally, is quarterback Daniel Jones with a cap hit of $47.8 million followed by left tackle Andrew Thomas at $23.3 million. Together, they take up nearly 28 percent of the Giants’ total cap space.
The Giants have had little to show for their money on offense but hope the development of their young core of skill players combined with some strategic free agency signings this season along the offensive line.
