Barring some sort of pay cut, Rhett Ellison likely has played his last game with the NY Giants. Signed during Jerry Reese’s last offseason as general manager, Ellison’s contract has kept him around despite the fact that his play has left much to be desired.
Brought in for his blocking prowess, Ellison was never expected to shoulder the tight end receiving load. However, the Giants were surely looking for him to eclipse 25 receptions, 300 yards or 2 touchdowns, something he never did once in any of his three seasons with the team.
Considering how many games Evan Engram has missed due to injury, the former USC tight end’s stats really leave a lot to be desired.
