The New York Giants have bolstered their roster with the signing of Pro Bowler Kenny Golladay, the NFL franchise announced.
Golladay – arguably the best wide receiver in this year's free agency – has reportedly signed a four-year contract worth $72million.
The 27-year-old spent his first four seasons with the Detroit Lions, where he earned Pro-Bowl selection in 2019.
Golladay led the NFL with 11 touchdown catches in 2019, while twice exceeding 1,000 receiving yards.
A third-round pick in 2017, Golladay was limited to just five games for the Lions in 2020 due to a hip flexor strain.
The Giants have struggled, missing the playoffs for four straight seasons, while they have only managed one postseason appearance – a Wild Card loss to the Green Bay Packers in 2016 – since 2012.
But Golladay is excited about the future, telling reporters on Saturday: "Just hearing the vision that coach Joe Judge had and [co-ordinator] Jason Garrett had as far as the offense, that had me right there.
"And just walking around the building, everybody greeting me and with them pretty much telling me that they wanted me here and I'm expressing the same thing. It was kind of like a no-brainer and I'm glad it worked out."
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones will benefit most from Golladay's arrival in New York.
Jones ranked 19th for completions (280) last season, while he was 31st for completion percentage (62.5), 19th for passing yards (2,943), equal 29th for touchdowns (11) and 13th for interceptions (10).
His passer rating (80.4) was only good enough for 30th position among quarterbacks – Packers star and MVP Aaron Rodgers (121.5) topped the list.
On playing with Jones, Golladay added: "He just said how good of a player that he thought I was, and I pretty much said the same thing about him.
"He also just said, 'We're trying to do something great here,' and that's what I'm all about.
"He's still kind of fresh in the league a little bit and I kind of want to grow with him. I'm still growing as a player and I feel like me and him can do some good things.
"We haven't gotten on the practice field yet, but me and him both are very excited."
