The Giants added a trio of veteran receivers on Monday, at a very minimal investment.
Via Jordan Raanan of ESPN, Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Braxton Berrios each signed one-year contracts for the veteran minimum of $1.3 million.
It makes the situation an extended tryout. It costs the Giants only the 90-man roster spot and the per diem for the offseason program and training camp (if they last that long).
The contracts also show that the Giants don't expect any of them to be starters or key contributors. They necessarily accepted that by taking the financial terms that were offered.
The overriding question is this — can any of them land high enough on the depth chart to avoid the expectation to play special teams? That raises the stakes for both Beckham and Smith-Schuster; older receivers usually aren't gunners on the punt team.
For now, the stakes are low for the Giants. They can see what the new receivers will do, in relation to the players on the roster.
And (perhaps as importantly) the Giants can turn the page on the recent non-football dustup that created obvious issues for the locker room and consternation within the fan base.
Browns Land Versatile Verse in Rams Trade
Verse, the 2024 defensive rookie of the year, is five years younger than Myles Garrett and comes with a modest rookie deal, making just $2.1 million in 2026 and $2.8 million in 2027. The Rams have paid most of his four-year, $15.1 million rookie contract, meaning the Browns will get him for two years at less than $5 million total.
While Verse's Pro Bowl appearances will unlock a higher fifth-year option and the Browns will eventually need to give him a second contract, the team still gains significant value through his proven production and affordable current salary, making this trade more beneficial than acquiring a traditional first-round pick.
