The Giants and Andrew Thomas have once more agreed to a restructure. Recent York’s six-year left tackle starter has agreed to a transforming of his pact to create immediate cap space.
Team and player agreed to the newest restructure yesterday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. A portion of Thomas’ base salary for 2026 was converted right into a roster bonus. The move created $6.46MM in space. Consequently, Thomas is now heading in the right direction to hold a cap charge of $17.59MM this season.
The previous No. 4 pick was largely durable while playing out his rookie contract, something which helped Recent York make a big-money commitment in his case. Thomas inked a five-year extension value $23.5MM per season in 2023. He has missed time yearly since then, including the 2024 campaign during which Thomas was limited to only six appearances. His deal was restructured last September to create financial respiration room.
The Giants have taken the identical route this time around. Recent York is currently near the underside of the league when it comes to cap space, so this Thomas restructure will help carve out some financial flexibility once it’s processed. The team inked Francis Mauigoa to his rookie pact yesterday, but fellow top-10 selection Arvell Reese has not yet signed. The space created by this move will help make Reese’s deal easier to soak up and permit for other roster adjustments through the summer.
Thomas, 27, stays under contract through 2029 as things stand. None of his scheduled compensation beyond the approaching campaign is guaranteed, although he’s due a $2.5MM roster bonus next March. A healthy campaign would help be certain that payment winds up being made while also offering strong showings on the blindside for a Giants offensive line searching for improved play in 2026.
