Isaiah Hodgins is re-signing with the Giants this offseason

This offseason, the Giants are attempting to bolster their offensive talent after Saquon Barkley left. The Pro Bowl RB was New York’s most dymanic playmaker. Without him, the Giants need a new threat on offense that can give the team a spark of momentum. That type of player could come out of the 2024 NFL Draft class. 

With over a month until the draft, New York continues adding to the next season’s roster. Yesterday, it was announced that the Giants are re-signing one of their WRs. Isaiah Hodgins was a restricted free agent this offseason. The 25-year-old tested the free agent market before returning to Big Blue. Hodgins is a reliable target at WR for whoever plays QB next season.

In the 2020 NFL Draft, Isaiah Hodgins was a 6th-round pick by the Bills out of Oregon State. During his rookie year, Hodgins was waived by the Bills and spent time on and off their practice squad. In November 2022, Hodgins was acquired off waivers by New York and played the final eight games of the season for them. Including both of the Giants’ postseason games. The 25-year-old made five starts for the Giants in 2022.

Last offseason, the team signed Hodgins as an excuse rights, free agent. Hodgins was a restricted free agent this offseason and decided to re-sign with the Giants. In his first season with New York, Hodgins had 33 catches for 351 yards and four touchdowns. During his 2023 campaign, Hodgins racked up 21 catches for 230 yards and three touchdowns. He played in all 17 games for the Giants and made nine starts. However, WRs like Wan’Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and rookie Jalin Hyatt saw more targets and playing time than Hodgins did.
