David Diehl Accepts Big Pay Cut

David Diehl Accepts Big Pay Cut: According NFL Player Association records, OT David Diehl’s 2013 base salary has been reduced from $4.475 million to $1 million. No years were added to Diehl’s contract – which expires after this upcoming season – so this appears to be a straight pay cut rather than a restructuring. The Daily News is reporting that the Giants did guarantee $200,000 of Diehl’s $1 million salary, effectively making it a signing bonus.

This move saves the Giants at least $3.475 million in salary cap space, and according to The Daily News, drops Diehl’s 2013 cap number from $6.903 million to $3.428 million.

• QB David Carr: 1-year, $940,000 base salary
• WR Louis Murphy: 1-year, $715,000 base salary
• OG Kevin Boothe: 1-year, $905,000 ($840,000 base salary)
