The New York Giants are aggressively pursuing a wide receiver. The likely candidates are Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave, or Las Vegas Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers. 

The Giants are making moves at wide receiver so their rookie quarterback Jaxon Dart can develop. They desperately need help at the position since Malik Nabers has a torn ACL.

Waddle And Nabers Form An Unstoppable Duo

Waddle paired up with a healthy Nabers would feel unfair. Defenses would be cooked either way, and Waddle in Brian Daboll’s offense with Dart slinging would be Broadway football.

The Concussion Conundrum

Olave is a very good receiver. The issue with him is concussions; he has had three already in his career. With two 1,000-yard-plus seasons under him, the talent is definitely there, and he is still only 25 years old.

Myers’ Impactful Play And Affordability

Myers is a solid player who makes an immediate impact on any team he goes to. He has elite hands and is cheaper to get without having to give up a lot.

End Of My New York Giants Rant

Waddle compliments Naber’s skillset, but $28 million per year would be too much for a team with plenty of other holes to fill. Olave is the definition of a pure WR. Myers is a good second-tier option, but he will turn 29 and is looking for a new contract.

The Giants hope to land a player who can contribute in 2025 and beyond. If they strike out on the top-tier names, they could pivot to a second tier of receivers.
