Good morning, New York Giants fans!
New York Giants sign WR Isaiah Hodgins
Wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins, who elevated the New York Giants’ passing attack after being claimed off waivers from the Buffalo Bills at midseason in 2022, has been re-signed by the Giants.
Hodgins is the third exclusive rights free agent the Giants have signed this week—tight end Lawrence Cager on Feb. 13 and guard Jack Anderson on Feb. 14.
Hodgins was the team’s best wide receiver over the second half of the season. In eight games (five starts) he caught 33 passes for 351 yards (10.6 yards per catch) with four touchdowns. With Richie James, Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard free agents and Kenny Golladay likely to be cut the Giants could be re-making their wide receiver group.

Other Giant observations
Can the Giants bring back Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley? | ESPN.com
The Giants also must decide how important it is to keep this core together. How far can they get by adding key pieces to the offensive line and at wide receiver? That will determine whether this season was the pinnacle and endpoint for the Barkley-and-Jones Giants.

9. Saquon Barkley and His Amazing Friends Nonsense
Giants fans honestly believe that Saquon Barkley was indispensable to their team’s turnaround (slightly true, at best) and that he’s got several more years like 2022 in him (history shows that he really has several more years like 2019-to-2021 in him).
So where will Barkley, Jacobs, Sanders, Singletary, and the rest end up? Probably right back with their original teams, in most cases, for far less money than they wanted. Supply far exceeds demand for franchise running backs, especially when a draft class that’s deeper at running back than any other position is factored into the equation.
