The Giants have restructured Eli Manning's contract in order to save roughly $6.75 million in salary cap space.
Manning's base salary, which was previously $10.75 million, was dropped to $1.75 million and he received a $9 million "signing" bonus to be paid immediately. The move lowers Manning's 2012 cap number from $16.35 million to $9.6 million, but his future cap numbers will all be in the $20 million range. It does give the Giants more freedom to sign other players in free agency.
