The New York Giants are hoping for a Year 3 leap from Daniel Jones similar to the one Josh Allen took for the Buffalo Bills a season ago.
In Buffalo, a massive trade for wide receiver Stefon Diggs — four draft picks, including Buffalo’s 2020 first-round pick (22nd overall) — made that happen. It paid off as Diggs had a career year with 127 catches and 1,535 receiving yards, Allen was terrific, the Bills won the AFC east and ended up in the AFC title game.
The Giants are hoping their massive investment in Golladay (four years, $72 million, $40 million guaranteed) despite a soft wide receiver market pays similar dividends.
