Demarcus Robinson

This one is a bit of a stretch, and perhaps Byron Pringle is a better bet here, but it’s also likely that the Chiefs might try to bring Pringle back into the mix. That means we’re shifting our focus to Robinson as an often overlooked player who might try to see what he can accomplish away from the team that drafted him.

Most Chiefs fans would likely shrug, at most, at the thought of losing Robinson in free agency, and that’s all well and good here because the Giants could care less what Chiefs Kingdom thinks here.

While no one in New York would begin their parade planning in the wake of such a signing, the truth is that Robinson is trusted so much by his coaches in Kansas City for a reason. He’s got decent hands, runs good routes, and is a very capable and willing blocker. He’s able to fill in a solid wide receiver and special teams slot by doing the little things well that earn him playing time and he could provide the same in New York.

The Giants already have Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney and perhaps Darius Slayton makes a difference here and Robinson is redundant. However, a new regime will want to see someone they trust and Robinson could be a glue guy at wideout for a new offense. It’s also possible that D-Rob tries to find something extra for a new team. Either way, Kafka might like to see a familiar face in the receivers room as he takes to a new franchise.
