Giants Escalate WR Search After Nabers’ ACL Tear With Trade Inquiries

Tight cap space leaves New York prioritizing low-cost options before the Nov. 4 deadline.

Overview

  • NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo report the Giants have begun calling teams about wide receivers, with local reporting describing the effort as due diligence.
  • Following Malik Nabers’ season-ending injury, New York hosted multiple free-agent workouts as depth moves while Darius Slayton and Wan’Dale Robinson hold the top roles.
  • Media outlets have floated potential trade targets such as Rashid Shaheed, Jakobi Meyers, Chris Olave and Tyler Lockett, with those names characterized as speculative candidates.
  • Pro Football Rumors notes the Giants have roughly $474,000 in cap space, a constraint that likely necessitates sending salary back or structuring any deal carefully.
  • New York holds seven 2026 draft picks and is weighing a modest addition to support rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart rather than a costly, like-for-like replacement.
