Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News reports that Manning lowered his base salary for 2012 from $10.75 million to $1.75 million to create almost $7 million in cap space. His cap number for the 2012 season will now be $9.6 million, down from $16.35 million. The move comes with the Giants in need of immediate cap space to take care of more pressing concerns. Among them could be additions at TE after the injuries to Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum and on the offensive line or in the secondary. The team has also said they will explore a new contract for WR Victor Cruz. PFT's Josh Alper also reminded readers the Giants can create more cap space by dealing with Brandon Jacobs' contract. The running back is currently set to make $4.4 million in the 2012 season, a lot for the production he provides, but
he's been open to talking about a pay cut to remain with the team.
