Giants add a veteran receiver

[EDjohnst1981]

Robinson is nothing like Slayton and vice versa in terms of what they can do. Robinson these days post injuries is a possession receiver not any kind of wide/deep threat.

All true. He doesn't want a new deal either.

Decent move considering the scraps around. I doubt anyone thinks he's a game changer; although Slayton also doesn't fit that idea either.

And I like DS at a certain price point.

He's a stand-up guy. Never was a deep threat, but reliable as a possession option.

Earlier in his career he averaged over 17 yards/reception for a season or two..  Last year was by far his lowest in that stat with 8.2.

Former PSU guy (and almost singlehandedly responsible for Christian Hackenberg being drafted in round 2 by the Jets, so I've always appreciated that...).  Very good receiver early on in his career and now nothing more than a possession vet/locker room guy because of age and injuries.

I will forever love him just for this play against Michigan:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9qsVkDEQeU

I'm not expecting much from him but have absolutely no opposition to the signing given the price.

Keeping in mind Malik Nabers is only 20, Robinson's being here for a year or two could be beneficial to the young man. Same with other young guys in the room like Hyatt and Wan'Dale who have never had a mentor who has had real success in this league.

But do I think he's going to put up significant production for us? No. I think he's pretty shot. Lots of injuries over the years, and he hasn't had a productive year since 2020. He used to be awesome though, and he could definitely have a positive impact off the field and in camp etc.

Robinson took Devitos number 15

From reading through this thread it seems like most are of the opinion that Robinson will not provide much production but will help young WRs with his leadership. 

He had 34 receptions last year for 280 yards.  9 of his catches were for 1st downs, which is something I guess.

Does he play special teams? If not, does this seem similar to having Sterling Shepard on the roster last year? 

Bottom roster spots are usually guys who play STs.

We are a long way from final cut downs, and a lot could happen (including Robinson being cut).
