I still was hoping to acquire a WR or TE without a resume full of injuries. I really want to get past that….it seems guys with resumes are less likely to stay healthy all season. I hope I’m wrong on this.

guys like Campbell and Smith are what is available since the Giants smartly don't want to overpay. Two WRs and a TE with speed. My guess is we add two WR in the draft and perhaps another after final cuts. Resigning Slayton and/or James is also possible, although that seems less likely now.

Player with a very high ceiling who's salary is tied to whether or not he hits it.

If things don't work out there are 0 long term ramifications.

Good "value" buy by Schoen.
robbie here's campbells depth of target in his last year at osu  
Eric on Li : 3/16/2023 1:36 pm : link
you can see they used him behind the los even more than indy last year. he caught 82% of his targets for 91 receptions, 1k yards, 12 tds. and on 80 of his catches he was targeted 4 yards or less downfield.



campbell may be more of an upside replacement for richie james than slayton. though ideally he does a combo of both.

A risk potential reward signing. If its a one year deal I like it. He has played 7. 2. 6 and then 17 games.

Could be a lot of upside here. Giants also got to see him on the field this year in addition to preparing for him so they should have a good idea on him imv.

Yes I’m getting concerned that the collection of “weapons” we have can coexist. Are there enough touches to go around? I’d look at what the greatest show on turf rams did but concerned our collection of weapons dwarfs those guys.

Unless he's still hanging around after the dust settles and available for the min. Campbell better at specials. Shep kind of pushes him out too.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Giants hit this shelf again for more of an outside WR.

In regards to their pass catchers, they swapped out:

Slayton & James —> Waller & Campbell

This is a start. Now we need these guys and Robinson to stay healthy.

And I’m sure WR remains high on their priorities heading into the draft.

Ross not only had injuries concerns but drops too. Campbell hasn't had drop issues.
Campbell 100% could bust  
AcesUp : 3/16/2023 1:45 pm : link
and have a similar impact to Ross. But you have to assume that the Giants will also have a high draft pick and potentially another of these signings in play as well. It's a 1yr.
Nice blurb from PFF on Campbell  
BSIMatt : 3/16/2023 1:45 pm : link
On their list of "One underrated free agent at every position"

Quote:

Wide Receiver: Parris Campbell

2022 Team: Indianapolis Colts
2022 PFF Grade: 60.8

Before the potential wave of releases, this looks to be a very weak free-agent wide receiver class at the top. But for teams in need of a dependable WR3, and perhaps even a WR2 if he can stay healthy, Campbell is an option. He has dropped just six of the 103 catchable passes thrown his way since entering the NFL.


Yac and drop rate have been issues for Giants WRs for some time now.

as the fastest ball carrier in 2002, at 22.11 MPH. Incredibly, it was on a 26 yard touchdown run. You usually see those higher MPHs on longer plays where the player has time to build up to top speed.

Way better hands than Ross. And a better route runner. Not just a fast guy who runs fly and post patterns.
Doesn't last year, by playing in 17 games, count as his prove-it year?

I'd be more worried if he played in every game his first two seasons and then was IRed all of last season.

David B. : 3/16/2023 1:56 pm : link
They need guys who -- when healthy -- have ceilings higher than the practice squad. Campbell's one of them if he can finally stay on the field.

Guessing the contract probably has incentives for each game he plays, so if he's healthy, he makes more.

Yes.
waller is the best receiver on the team regardless of position label  
Eric on Li : 3/16/2023 2:00 pm : link
hodgins performed the best last year, the only caveat is he played 11 actives because buf had him inactive for most of the year.

campbell is an upside depth signing coming off his own personal best year but in a game tomorrow he'd be the 3rd option behind the other 2.

based on numbers they are clearly going to continue adding more receivers through the rest of the offseason and almost definitely draft someone day 1 or 2.
