Giants Keep Devin Singletary on Major Pay Cut to Open Cap Space

The reworked deal cuts his 2026 salary to $1.3 million with incentives to preserve veteran depth behind Cam Skattebo.

Overview

  • Singletary accepted a reduction from a $5 million base salary to $1.3 million with up to $1 million in incentives, keeping him on the roster for 2026.
  • The move reduces what had been a roughly $6.5 million cap charge and provides near‑term flexibility ahead of free agency next week.
  • New York’s Top 51 cap space now sits around $22 million, following other cost‑cutting steps such as releasing Bobby Okereke and waiving tackle James Hudson for $5.4 million in savings.
  • Team reporting indicates Singletary slots as veteran depth behind Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. after losing the starting job in each of the past two seasons.
  • Rumored interest in high‑end backs such as Kenneth Walker III persists, though any major addition would likely require further cap maneuvers.
