Jets hosted free agent WR Kenny Golladay for a visit.
The free agent market has been understandably quiet for Golladay, who is arguably one of the biggest free agent busts in recent memory. Golladay signed a four-year, $72 million contract with the Giants ahead of the 2021 season, and was cut just two years into the deal. At 29-years old, Golladay could still have something left in the tank, but he’ll likely need to work his way up from a practice squad to make the 53-man roster.
Giants released WR Kenny Golladay.
The team will wait until the start of the new league year (March 15) to make the transaction official. Golladay, fighting constant injuries and clearly a few steps slower and less explosive than he was during his Detroit heyday, was one of the worst free agent signings in recent NFL history. Joe Judge's Giants inked Golladay to a $72 million deal with $28 million guaranteed before the 2021 season. Golladay was benched for much of the 2022 season under competent head coach Brian Daboll, catching six of his 17 targets, including his only touchdown as a Giant. Golladay, 29, will have to sign a prove-it deal with a team desperate for outside receiver help.
Kenny Golladay caught 2-of-7 targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' Week 18 loss to the Eagles.
Golladay made a nice contested catch in the back of the end zone for his first TD catch since Week 4 of 2020. While that was nice to see, it only happened because Golladay was playing with the Giants' backups. He will likely return to the bench when the Giants play in the Wild Card Round.
Kenny Golladay (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Golladay was downgraded to out because of an illness last week. In his place, Isaiah Hodgins picked up his first career touchdown while playing on 80 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps. Hodgins has likely earned the right to start over a healthy Golladay, though fantasy managers should not count on much production from him.
