4 NY Giants players who could get cut after the NFL Draft
Several players could be on their way out shortly after the NFL Draft
3. Chase Cota
Chase Cota was an undrafted free agent wide receiver out of Oregon. The 6-4 200-pound receiver has bounced around during his first year in the league, originally signing a $2.71 million deal with the Lions. He was waived, then he grabbed a cup of coffee with the Kansas City Chiefs before signing with the Houston Texans. After not being offered a reserve/future deal by the Texans, Cota became a free agent. The Giants signed him to a reserve/future deal in January.
Cota is facing an uphill climb to make this roster this upcoming season. He faces a daunting wide receivers room that will no doubt be added to in the draft in two weeks. The Giants are sitting squarely at No. 6, for now, and have a WRs room that already has Wan'dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Darius Slayton, newly added Isaiah McKenzie, along with Miles Boykins and Gunner Olszweski on special teams. Throw in Bryce Ford-Wheaton and Isaiah Hodgins to that group and his possibility of making the roster dwindles even more.
Adding a true playmaking receiver like Marvin Harrison Jr. or Malik Nabers are real possibilities for the Giants, and if they add one of them to a room of Robinson, Hyatt, Slayton, and maybe McKenzie, it's going to be hard for Cota to get on the field.
