New York Giants: Should Sterling Shepard Be Extended Beyond 2019?

The New York Giants have one of the most intimidating receiving units in the NFL on paper, but they’ve struggled to reach expectation in recent years. When former Oklahoma star Sterling Shepard was drafted in 2016, it was expected that he would be the perfect compliment to Odell Beckham Jr.

The slot receiver hasn’t broken the 1,000 yard-mark once in his career, reaching a career-high 872 yards last season. He also has 14 career scores, compared to Beckham’s 44 in five seasons (35 in first three seasons). The value of the 26-year-old might not add to up to his price tag after he becomes a free agent in 2020.
