"The New York Giants are not just on the prowl for an upgrade in their wide receiver room; they are going big-game hunting. General manager Joe Schoen completed the first part of the plan by freeing up roughly $5 million in cap space by restructuring the contracts of two big offseason additions, cornerback Paulson Adebo and safety Jevon Holland. That has them sitting at roughly $7.5 million of cap space in total."
"Waddle is sinking with a nosediving Dolphins team that went from one of the league's fastest, most exciting squads to a 1-5 disaster. He carries a cap hit just north of $8 million this season, which the Giants could make work. The speedster, who is under contract through 2028, has reeled in 29 catches for 390 yards and three scores."
"Meyers' situation is a bit more precarious. The Raiders' star has been vocal about wanting out of Vegas, but has a cap hit of $14 million before he becomes a free agent at the end of this season. A motivated Raiders team could make the financials work if the return is right, though. The 28-year-old has 29 catches for 329 yards on the season."
The New York Giants restructured contracts for cornerback Paulson Adebo and safety Jevon Holland to free roughly $5 million, bringing total cap space to about $7.5 million. The Giants are targeting upgrades at wide receiver and have been linked to Jaylen Waddle, Jakobi Meyers and Chris Olave as trade candidates. Jaylen Waddle carries a cap hit just over $8 million, is under contract through 2028, and has 29 catches for 390 yards and three touchdowns amid Miami's 1-5 start. Jakobi Meyers wants out of Las Vegas, carries a $14 million cap hit, and has 29 catches for 329 yards. Chris Olave has a $6.1 million cap hit and could be difficult to pry from New Orleans.
