We now have the numbers up for Giants LT Will Beatty and based on the latest tweets by Joel Corry I think its safe to assume my early estimates are now confirmed.
William Beatty's 2013 cap number is $3.55M ($2.5M signing bonus proration, $1M GTD base salary & $50k workout bonus).

Beatty will count for $3.55 million against the cap in 2013 for the Giants and will not be higher than $8.05 million in the first three years of the contract. Beatty received a $12.5 million dollar signing bonus which will most likely assure him of a roster spot for the next three years, though only $650,000 of his 2015 salary is guaranteed. Provided the Giants do not need to restructure Beatty in the next two years he would only carry a dead money charge of $5 million in 2016. If he plays at a high level a cap figure under $10 million for a left tackle is very manageable. Like I had said yesterday it seems like a good deal for both sides.
