The New York Jets are continuing to look for ways to improve their wide receiver room this offseason, and among the many options, a New York Giants receiver could be in the mix.
Outside of Garrett Wilson, the Jets don’t have much, which made Connor Hughes of SNY link the Jets to Wan'Dale Robinson, a decent player who would be a nice upgrade for New York.
“The Jets have Garrett Wilson. He is a star. Beyond him, though, the position lacks proven production,” Hughes wrote.
Adding another reliable pass-catcher has seemingly become a priority, especially with an offense looking to fix its issues and create more outside of Wilson.
Robinson is coming off a breakout campaign with the Giants, showcasing his value as both a volume receiver and a yards-after-catch threat. However, with the Giants being in a similar position, it’d be interesting to let him walk.
“Robinson is coming off a career season with the Giants, finishing with 92 receptions for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns. Adding him alongside a healthy Wilson – and potentially targeting a receiver such as Jordyn Tyson, Carnell Tate or Makai Lemon with a second first-round pick – would significantly reshape the outlook of the Jets’ receiving corps,” Hughes added.
If the Jets explore the move, Robinson would come in and have a real chance to be a No. 2 receiver. He has the tools to do so and could prefer staying in New York if the Giants look elsewhere.
