Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 967122">Actually teams need to be under the cap at the start of the league year, which was back in mid-March. During the offseason only the top 51 contracts count against the cap.It wouldn't be possible for the Giants to be over the cap at this point though. FYI, according to the NFLPA's public salary cap report they currently have $4.3 million of cap space.I agree that Martinez exceeded expectations for a fourth round pick. But overall he has been an average inside linebacker for most of his career.Actually the Giants saved only $176K by releasing Martinez as they significantly cut his salary back in March. Money was not the reason he was cut.I'm sorry but that's completely wrong. You shouldn't mistake being among the leaders in total tackles with being an elite inside linebacker.Martinez didn't make a whole lot of impact plays in the run game as well. Most of his tackles came after opponents had already gained several yards. Much like A.J. Hawk mostly did.</blockquote>
