Report: Giants expected to pursue WR Demarcus Robinson in free agency

The New York Giants are expected to pursue Kansas City Chiefs WR Demarcus Robinson once free agency begins in March.

The New York Giants have an abundance of needs headed into free agency and will likely key in on offensive tackles and edge rushers. However, they’ll also poke around some of the available wide receivers.

Although the Giants seem relatively stocked at the position, they are in need of another outside receiver and/or red zone threat, and could come by way of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson.

Matt Lombardo of NJ Advance Media reports that the Giants are expected to pursue Robinson once free agency begins in March.

The Giants are expected to pursue Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs wider receiver Demarcus Robinson when free agency begins, an individual with knowledge of the situation tells NJ Advance Media.

The 6-foot-1, 203-pound Robinson set career-highs with 32 catches for 449 yards and four touchdowns last season, but did not record a catch in Super Bowl LIV.

Over his first four seasons, the 25-year-old Robinson has appeared in 64 games (23 starts), hauling in 75 receptions on 127 targets for 949 yards and eight touchdowns. He has a 59.1 catch percentage and earned a Pro Football Focus grade of just 57.8 in 2019.

Robinson can play both outside and in the slot, although the Giants have both Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard to play inside.
