EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants were intently monitoring Tuesday's NFL franchise tag deadline. Specifically what was going on in Chicago, Tampa Bay and Detroit.
The Giants need to add playmakers and that begins with the No. 1 wide receiver they are desperately missing. The consensus top options who would potentially be available in NFL free agency were Allen Robinson II (Bears), Chris Godwin (Buccaneers) and Kenny Golladay (Lions).
Robinson and Godwin were tagged and are no longer options to be quarterback Daniel Jones' top target in New York.
