By Neal Lynch
#8 Johnathan Hankins, DT (24)
2016 Cap Hit:$1,282,491
Johnathan Hankins signed his 4 year rookie contract with the Giants in 2013 that included a $1,311,408 signing bonus, $1,899,621 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $1,007,672. In 2016, Hankins will earn a base salary of $954,639. Hankins has a cap hit of $1,282,491 while his dead money value is $327,852.
Big Hank aka Hank the Tank had an impressive sophomore effort in 2014 with seven sacks, a forced fumble, three passes defended and more than 50 combined tackles, earning him second team ALL-NFL honors by Pro Football Focus. Then, last season he starts 9 games and goes sackless before tearing his pec.
News out of Giants camp is that Hankins is on pace for a full recovery, but what should fans expect? With the addition of “Snacks” and possibly a draft prospect, Hankins should have a career year, but will it lead to his departure?
