The New York Giants are considering a trade to bring in a former first-round wide receiver from the Tennessee Titans. This move aims to bolster the Giants’ offensive lineup and provide quarterback Daniel Jones with a valuable target.
The New York Giants are determined to prove that Daniel Jones deserved the significant extension he received last offseason. To support him, they drafted the dynamic wide receiver Malik Nabers in the 2024 NFL Draft. Additionally, Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report has proposed a trade that would provide Jones with yet another valuable target.
The New York Giants added big help at WR with Malik Nabers
The Giants are set to have a solid receiving corps with Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Allen Robinson. However, there is uncertainty surrounding tight end Darren Waller’s potential retirement before the season starts. Additionally, the team lost their dynamic running back, Saquon Barkley, to free agency.
Ballentine suggests that the Giants could trade with the Tennessee Titans for former first-round pick Treylon Burks. With the Titans acquiring Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd this offseason to join DeAndre Hopkins, Burks may be less essential to their roster.
A move to a team like the New York Giants, which is still figuring out its receiving corps, would be logical. While transitioning from Will Levis to Daniel Jones might seem like a downgrade, the Giants currently have many uncertainties at the wide receiver position.
Rookie Malik Nabers figures to be their No. 1 receiver. Darius Slayton would be the No. 2 option, but he’s currently sitting out OTAs while he works on a new contract with the G-Men.
There are many young options the Giants hope will hit big this season. Adding Burks would give them another body type with potential in the room. At 6’2″, 225 pounds, the former Razorback is much bigger than the likes of Wan’Dale Robinson (5’8″, 185) and Jalin Hyatt (6’0″, 185).
Burks would still have to fight for reps and targets, but the competition would be a lot lighter in New York.”
