Grades for key members of the NY Giants offense through 5 games
4. WR Kenny Golladay: F
It almost feels like a crime to see Kenny Golladay make the amount of money he is making considering the lack of, well, anything out of the former Pro Bowler. After signing a massive four- year, $72 million contract with the NY Giants in the 2021 offseason, it seemed as if the team finally had their star receiver to replace the production they lost in trading Odell Beckham Jr.
Throughout the 18 games in which Golladay has played with the Giants, he has only caught 39 passes for 543 yards and zero TDs. Obviously the offense around Golladay was not ideal in his first season with the team, however, he had several questionable moments in terms of effort.
Regardless, Golladay has barely seen the field this season, only playing in the 37 percent of the offensive snaps thus far. It’s very clear that Daboll will not put up with Golladay’s antics. Even when Golladay has played, he has not looked very good, having already registered two drops on only six targets.

Reminder: Golladay ($25,150,000) has the largest salary cap hit of any NFL receiver in 2022 pic.twitter.com/2Z4tjzgm0D
Throughout his two seasons with the team, Golladay has shown no leadership, looks uninvolved, and has done nothing to be worthy of his ridiculous contract – adding yet another horrific move to former GM Dave Gettleman’s resume.
