You won’t find many New York Giants fans who, at one point or another during the last 12 years, didn’t admit they wanted Tom Coughlin to be fired. In the end, it was three straight losing seasons and a few questionable decisions during the 2015 season that proved to be his undoing. General Manager Jerry Reese will follow Coughlin out the door if the Giants don’t get back to winning in 2016.

Spotrac estimates the Giants’ cap space for the 2016 offseason at just under $35 million, and OverTheCap places that number even higher at $37.4 million. Add either of those numbers to the $11.4 million in extra cap space the Giants get due to the Jason Pierre-Paul situation, and they have anywhere from $46.4 to $48.8 million in cap space to make moves in the new year, assuming the expected $150 million salary cap for 2016.

A team this devoid of talent on both sides of the ball can use that money wisely and, more importantly for them, there are a ton of defensive players coming off the books for their respective teams.

The Giants were atrocious at rushing the passer in 2015. They ranked 30th in the league with just 23 sacks. Some of this can be attributed to JPP missing half the season, but most of which was a simple lack of talent. He, along with Cullen Jenkins, George Selvie and Robert Ayers are all free agents this offseason. JPP recently underwent surgery to improve the grip in his mangled hand and the Giants were heavily involved in this process, but the Giants will need help on the defensive line no matter who they bring back.

Muhammad Wilkerson of the New York Jets is a free agent and without a doubt the highest profile defensive end on the market. He needs to be priority one.

Giants fans may remember Wilkerson for getting into a fight with Brandon Jacobs in 2011, but the two-time All Pro has 36.5 sacks in 5 seasons playing defensive end for the Jets’ 3-4 defense (traditionally not a position that racks up sacks). He could easily be moved around in Steve Spagnuolo‘s 4-3 defense playing both tackle and end. Both Spags and Reese know as well as anyone how having versatile defensive lineman can make an entire defense better.

Some other, cheaper options include Malik Jackson, Olivier Vernon, Jason Jones, bringing back Ayers or Selvie, and potentially fan-favorite Justin Tuck.

This is just fixing the pass rush. High profile guys like Von Miller, Eric Berry, Eric Weddle, Sean Smith, Bruce Irvin, Brandon Marshall (LB), Danny Trevathan, Josh Norman (FUN!), Janoris Jenkins, Leon Hall and Trumaine Johnson are all looking for new contracts this season. It would be foolish for the Giants not to at least attempt to improve every level of the defense in free agency—the draft can only go so far.

NFL games are won and lost in the trenches, and the Giants have been woefully bad in that regard over the past several seasons. The Giants’ run game improved as the season came to a close but it still wasn’t very good. They finished 19th in rush yards and tied for 18th in yards per carry. This ended up being a huge problem when they were attempting to close out games against good teams.

Rookie first round pick Ereck Flowers showed signs of being a good left tackle when he was healthy, and Justin Pugh transitioned well enough to guard like most thought him capable, but frankly none of the offensive lineman were even above average.

High profile options at tackle include Cordy Glenn and Russell Okung, although Okung’s injury history looms over his status as an elite tackle, and Kelechi Osemele, Alex Boone and Jeff Allen are all excellent options inside.

The point to take away here is there are options for this 6-10 team to improve. In 2015 the Jets took a new coach and $52 million in cap space and turned a 4-12 team into a 10-6 team. Firing Coughlin was a necessary step, and one that puts extra pressure on the front office to bring winning back to a proud franchise.

Jerry Reese has a ton of work to do and has a ton of money and a high (ish) draft position to work with. If the Giants fail to produce on the field once again, the two Super Bowl wins will cease to be enough to keep Reese employed.
