Giants Sign WR Brandon Marshall – Giants Fans React
After being cut loose by the New York Jets, wide receiver Brandon Marshall has found a new home in the same place as his old home, although he'll be donning new colors in 2017.
The veteran receiver has reportedly agreed to a 2-year, $12 million deal with the New York Giants, several outlets are reporting.
While this doesn't address the two most immediate needs facing Big Blue's offense - tight end and offensive line - it certainly does create a dynamic 1 and 1A pairing at wide receiver.
Marshall is now approaching his 33rd birthday. He's a big, physical target at 6-4, 230 lbs. While he caught just 59 passes for 788 yards and three touchdowns with Gang Green last season, he didn't have Eric Decker to compliment him on the opposite side of the field. In 2015, when both Marshall and Decker were healthy, the duo combined for 26 touchdown grabs - including over 100 catches, 1,500 yards and 14 TDs for Marshall alone.
Now he'll lineup opposite superstar wideout Odell Beckham Jr, presumably placing Sterling Shepard in the slot. That's sounds like a ton of potential for all three if you ask me.
