Ryan Miller

The Giants’ flurry of new wide receiver signings won’t cost them all that much. Big Blue inked veterans Odell Beckham Jr. , Braxton Berrios and JuJu Smith-Schuster early this week. The biggest story was bringing back Beckham , who won the 2014 Offensive Rookie of the Year Award with the Giants and spent five seasons in New York from 2014-18.

This lessens the financial risk of taking on three journeymen while bolstering a wide receiver room dealing with a bout of injuries. Gunner Olszewski tore his Achilles during an OTA practice last week, while Darius Slayton and Malik Nabers continue to rehab their core and knee injuries, respectively. In the past two years, Beckham, 33, has appeared in just nine games. He was suspended for six games last year for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy and was not signed for the rest of the season. In five years with the Giants, Beckham recorded 390 receptions for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns. Smith-Schuster, 29, joins the Giants after spending the past two seasons with the Chiefs under now-Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Berrios, 30, appeared in only four games with the Texans last year due to injuries. Monday wasn’t the first day the Giants were active on the receiver market. Earlier this offseason, they signed veterans Calvin Austin , Darnell Mooney and Ryan Miller while retraining Isaiah Hodgins . Coach John Harbaugh’s team will be without Wan’Dale Robinson , who recorded 1,000 yards last season and left for Tennessee in free agency

NY Giants wide receiver transformation since end of 2025 is astonishing

Malik Nabers Wan'Dale Robinson Darius Slayton

The tripleheader of wide receiver signings by the New York Giants on Monday completed what is a stunning makeover at the position since the end of the 2025 season. Here is what the Giants’ wide receiver depth chart looked like in the 2025 Week 18 season finale against the Dallas Cowboys : IR — Malik Nabers , Wan’Dale Robinson Robinson spent the final week of the season on IR after crossing the 1,000-yard mark for the season the week before, the only time in his four years with the Giants that he did so. Game day roster — Darius Slayton , Ryan Miller , Jalin Hyatt , Gunner Olszewski , Dalen Cambre , Isaiah Hodgins Practice squad — Xavier Gipson , Ihmir Smith-Marsette While Nabers is the team’s No. 1 wide receiver, his uncertain status as he grinds away at rehab from a pair of surgeries for a torn ACL and other injuries makes it possible that the only wide receiver from the group above who could be on the Week 1 roster is Slayton. The Giants have added five capable veteran wide receivers in free agency. They signed Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin earlier in free agency, then struck deals with Odell Beckham Jr. , Braxton Berrios , and JuJu Smith-Schuster on Monday. They surrendered a pair of draft picks to move up in the 2026 NFL Draft and select wide receiver Malachi Fields in Round 3. Add the tight end swap on Isaiah Likely in place of Daniel Bellinger , and the Giants have transformed their receiving group into a much deeper, more experienced group for Jaxson Dart to throw to. Monday’s moves by the Giants seem only partially necessitated by Friday’s season-ending injury to Gunner Olszewski. It is entirely possible that Harbaugh and the Giants looked at the receivers after two weeks of OTAs and realized they did not have enough firepower. Let’s break down the wide receivers on the 90-man roster and see where the pieces might fit. Below, my initial expectations on who will and will not make the team, and thoughts on each player. Odell Beckham Jr. 2.0: Can the Giants get the 2023 version of OBJ? Malik Nabers — I think this is where the situation with Nabers is headed. The last time he spoke about Nabers, head coach John Harbaugh did not seem optimistic that he would be healthy enough to begin the season. Nabers did participate in the Brian Burns Charity Softball Game, but seemed to move carefully and was said to be limping. Nabers has said there was a lot going on with his knee, and he had a second “clean up” surgery this offseason. Just an educated guess, but I think one of the reasons the Giants were so aggressive on Monday in adding wide receivers is that they aren’t sure when Nabers will be ready to play. Darius Slayton — Don’t forget about the 29-year-old, now the longest-tenured Giant. He has missed spring workouts due to surgery to repair a sports hernia, but he will almost certainly be on the roster and have a role in the offense. Cutting Slayton would cost the Giants $15.749 million in dead money against the cap, and it would be stunning if they were to take that hit. Slayton did not have his best season in 2025. His 37 catches and 538 receiving yards were the second-lowest totals of his career, and his drop rate of 7.9% spiked to its highest mark since he dropped 9.9% of passes thrown to him in 2022. Still, Slayton has always shown the ability to bounce back and play himself into having a key role. Despite all the changes, that could be the case again. Darnell Mooney — Mooney’s best has been better than Slayton’s best. Mooney has 1,000-yard and 900-yard receiving seasons on his resume. Slayton’s best is 770 yards. Mooney has 81, 64, and 61-catch seasons across his six-year career. Slayton’s best is 50 catches. Mooney, 28, had his best season — 81 catches, 1,055 yards — playing for Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy with the Chicago Bears in 2021. The Giants would take a $3 million cap hit if they cut Mooney. If they traded him, which seems unlikely, that hit would reduce to $1.785 million. Moone [... truncated ...]
