What happened: Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas restructured his contract Wednesday, creating $6.46 million of added salary cap space for the team this year. Thomas converted his base salary into a roster bonus to generate the room. The move is a paper transaction that does not change his guaranteed money.

Why it matters: The added space gives the Giants flexibility to sign incoming draft picks, pursue veteran additions, or carry over room into the 2026 season. Thomas remains the cornerstone of the offensive line, and restructuring an anchor's deal is a common lever for a team managing its books. It signals the front office is still working to optimize the roster ahead of the season.

What to watch: Watch how the Giants deploy the new $6.46 million, whether on additional free-agent signings or rookie-deal cap accommodation.
