ESPN’s Field Yates reports that the Giants restructured EDGE Brian Burns’ contract by converting more than $10 million of his base salary into a signing bonus.

The move was made in order to sign No. 3 overall pick EDGE Abdul Carter to his four-year, $45.255 million contract. The Giants had just $1.6 million in cap space prior to Burns’ contract tweak. Burns remains under contract through the 2028 season.
