The New York Giants have secured former Pro Bowl wide receiver Allen Robinson on a one-year deal. With Robinson in the mix, quarterback Daniel Jones (or whoever secures the starting spot) gains a reliable target for the upcoming 2024 NFL season.
Allen Robinson: Experience Meets Potential
Robinson, a one-time Pro Bowler in 2015, brings a wealth of experience to the Giants’ WR corps. Despite his standout season being nearly a decade ago, the 30-year-old has had intermittent success since then. More importantly, he steps in as the most experienced receiver in New York’s youthful group.
Robinson will be a stabilizing force alongside Darius Slayton, who has been the Giants’ most productive receiver in recent years. However, Slayton, 27, is currently sitting out voluntary workouts while negotiating a contract adjustment or extension. Other young receivers include Isaiah Hodgins, Wan’Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, and rookie Malik Nabers.
New York Giants’ Young WR Room
The Giants will rely on Robinson’s veteran presence to help their younger receivers grow and provide consistent offensive production. Last season’s top receiver, Slayton, managed only 770 yards and four touchdowns across 50 receptions. Isaiah Hodgins is heading into his fourth season, Wan’Dale Robinson his third, and Hyatt his second.
The most intriguing addition is LSU product Malik Nabers, who the Giants picked in the recent draft. At just 20, Nabers will likely benefit immensely from Robinson’s mentoring.

Challenges Ahead for Allen Robinson
The past few seasons have been tumultuous for Robinson, who played for four teams in as many years. After his successful 2015 season in Jacksonville and strong campaigns with the Chicago Bears in 2019 and 2020, Robinson struggled in subsequent years. In his final season with Chicago, he posted just 410 yards, before moving on to the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Robinson ended last season with the Steelers by securing 34 catches for 280 yards on 49 targets. Despite these less-than-stellar numbers, his experience will be vital in ensuring New York’s WR corps thrives, even if he does not reach the 1,000-yard milestone.
A Promising Addition for the New York Giants
Robinson’s arrival marks a critical step for a Giants team that hasn’t seen a receiver surpass 770 yards since Odell Beckham Jr. in 2018. His veteran presence is expected to improve the Giants’ wide receiver depth while creating a nurturing environment for the younger members. Whether he breaks records or simply nurtures future stars, Robinson’s impact will be felt both on and off the field.
Ultimately, the Giants are betting on Robinson’s experience to bring much-needed stability to an offense that’s ready to ascend in 2024.
