Tight end Kyle Rudolph was added to the New York Giants on Thursday as Kenny Golladay talks continue to ramp up. The former Minnesota Viking was released earlier this offseason after not restructuring his contract with the team that drafted him in the second round back in 2011. He was signed by the Giants on a two-year deal worth up to $12 million.
Rudolph is coming off a modest 28-catch, 334-yard season with only one touchdown, but he did have seven touchdowns in 2019. The Vikings recently selected Irv Smith out of Alabama in the second round and they have Tyler Conklin on their roster as well, so Rudolph was seen as expendable at his $9 million annual price tag.
