The New York Giants are releasing wide receiver Kenny Golladay when the new league year starts on March 15, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Two years ago, Golladay signed a four-year, $72 million deal with $40 million guaranteed. Now he won’t see the final two years of that contract after catching just 43 passes for 602 yards and a single touchdown in a Giants uniform.
Back in 2020, the Detroit Lions were facing a tough decision with Golladay. Their former third-round pick was heading into the final year of his rookie deal and was coming off a Pro Bowl season where he caught 65 passes for 1,190 yards and a league-leading 11 touchdowns.
