Giants released TE Kelvin Benjamin.

It was a quick stay for Benjamin, a former receiver for the Panthers and Bills who converted to tight end last year. Benjamin, 30, could land on another roster this summer. His chances of making a team's 53-man roster are slim.

Giants signed TE Kelvin Benjamin.

3 years ago

Out of the league since 2018, Benjamin worked mostly at tight end during his minicamp tryout. It's a low risk flyer for the Giants, who have Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph locked in two TE sets. A first-round pick by GM Dave Gettleman with the Panthers in 2014, Benjamin faded into a sub-package role with Kansas City before falling out of the league. The Giants are hoping Benjamin can give them a pass-catching backup for Engram, who's missed 14 games over the last four seasons.

Free agent Kelvin Benjamin was listed as a tight end for his tryout with the Giants.

3 years ago

Benjamin, who hasn't appeared in a regular season game since 2018, reported to New York's minicamp listed at 6'5/245 as a tight end. Originally drafted by GM Dave Gettleman in Carolina, 30-year-old Benjamin is being treated as the one that got away. We'll follow this ongoing situation so you don't have to.

Free agent WR Kelvin Benjamin will try out for the Giants this weekend.

Now on the wrong side of 30, Benjamin has not appeared in a regular season game since 2018. Benjamin was drafted by Giants GM Dave Gettleman in Carolina, and Gettleman evidently can't let the matter go. Even if 6-foot-5 Benjamin makes a miraculous comeback, there would be no targets for the taking in the Giants' stuffed-to-the-gills receiver corps.
