Overview
- The New York Giants cut wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, ending his three-season run with the club and opening jersey No. 13 for returning receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
- Hyatt finished his Giants tenure with limited production, recorded reports note 36 receptions for about 470 yards and no touchdowns over three seasons.
- Coaches and evaluators flagged Hyatt’s straight-line speed but cited weaknesses in route versatility, target-earning and special-teams value as reasons he lost a roster spot.
- The release came after the Giants added receiver depth in the offseason, including third-round pick Malachi Fields and several free-agent signings that intensified competition for playing time.
- Hyatt becomes a free agent who could interest teams that want a vertical threat, while the Giants signaled a preference for receivers who deliver dependable, week-to-week performance.
