Giants sign veteran WR Miles Boykin to deal

After spending his first five seasons in the AFC North, Miles Boykin will be looking to continue his career in the NFC. The Giants announced Tuesday that they’ve signed the veteran wide receiver.

The former third-round pick showed some promise through his first two years in the NFL. In 32 games with the Ravens between 2019 and 2020, Boykin hauled in 32 receptions for 464 yards and seven touchdowns.

Things haven’t gone nearly as well over the past three seasons. Between 2021 and 2023, the receiver has only caught six passes in 41 games with the Ravens and Steelers.

His offensive role has basically dried up; after averaging 485 offensive snaps per season through his first two years in the NFL, he’s only averaged 96 offensive snaps per season over the past three campaigns. Still, he’s managed to contribute on special teams, culminating in a 2023 season where he got in a career-high 316 ST snaps.

The Giants haven’t done a whole lot to address their WR situation this offseason. Prior to Tuesday’s move, the team added Isaiah McKenzie to a group of holdovers that includes Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt and Isaiah Hodgins.
