2.) WR Demaryius Thomas

Demaryius Thomas featured with the Jets in 2019, posting 433 yards and one touchdown through the air. He only played on 45% of offensive snaps, which indicates he probably could’ve come close to 1000 yards receiving if he was given a full seasons workload. However, Thomas is on the back end of his career and is more of a depth piece. He would likely be cheap on a one-year deal and add experience to the Giants’ locker room.

Bringing him in to compete with Corey Coleman for the final spot on the roster would be a low cost and efficient move to spur competition. The Giants have inconsistencies across the board, especially at wide receiver after injuries hurt the unit last year. With Sterling Shepard, one concussion away from potentially ending his career, having quality back up options is always a positive.
