Giants add Allen Robinson to WR room

The Giants signed wide receiver Allen Robinson to a free agent contract in hopes he can help bolster the team’s struggling offense.

The Giants announced the signing Thursday, two months after Robinson was let go by the Pittsburgh Steelers in a cost-cutting move. Robinson, 30, is a veteran presence in a wide receiver room adding first-round pick Malik Nabers, LSU’s all-time leading receiver.

Robinson started all 17 games for the Steelers last season and had 34 catches for 280 yards, both career lows, except for the 2017 season when an injury limited him to one game.

He has 562 career receptions for 7,028 yards and 43 touchdowns in 127 games, including 122 starts, for the Steelers and three other teams since Jacksonville drafted him in the second round in 2014.

Robinson made the Pro Bowl in 2015, when his 14 touchdown receptions tied for the NFL lead and he set the Jaguars’ single-season record. Robinson also recorded a career-high 1,400 receiving yards that year, the first of three 1,000-yard campaigns in his career.

Robinson has caught at least one pass in 118 consecutive games to start his career, and he became the fifth Chicago Bears player to post back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2019 and 2020.

The Giants will begin the season with Daniel Jones returning as their starting quarterback. He just suffered a torn ACL and has three years remaining on his $160 million contract.

The Giants were 6-11 last season and finished 31st in passing yards, 30th in scoring and 29th in total offense.
