Kenny Golladay Rumos: Giants, Dolphins Linked in Free Agency

With Chris Godwin and Allen Robinson receiving the franchise tag, Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay entered NFL free agency as the top talent at his position and primed to get a hefty pay day. However, entering Day 3 of free agent negotiations, Golladay remains unsigned.

Two notable teams have been linked to the wideout in the early stages of free agency.

Giants and Dolphins were believed to be two of the most interested suitors for Kenny Golladay, per league sources. Interesting to see if something shakes out here now that Jets landed Corey Davis. Not sure if any other teams are involved at the moment, but certainly could be.

Kenny Golladay Free Agency Rumors: Giants, Dolphins Linked

The Miami Dolphins and New York Giants are both said to be showing interest in signing Golladay. It's no surprise, since both teams could use an explosive weapon to open up their offenses.

On the Giants, Golladay would add to a receiving corps with Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton already in place. And in Miami, the wideout would line up along with DeVante Parker and Mike Gesicki, providing young QB Tua Tagovailoa with a go-to target.

However, it seems Golladay's injury troubles last season are limiting his earning potential.

Think the idea that the #Giants are going all-out for Kenny Golladay at all costs is incorrect. Not the impression I'm getting. Teams seem to have questions about him and are interested only at certain price points.

Teams could look to the draft to fill their WR needs rather than spending big on Golladay if they're worried about his injury history.

The Giants (No. 11 pick) and Dolphins (No. 3 pick) certainly have the draft capital if they go that route, but there's no denying that Golladay would make a major impact on either squad.
