Kenny Golladay: Won't join Jets after workout
Kenny Golladay worked out with the Jets on Wednesday but won't sign with the team, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Golladay has been searching for any opportunity to make an impression since being let go by the Giants back in March, but for now he has to keep looking. The 29-year-old wideout posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with Detroit in 2018 and 2019, but he hasn't recorded 40 catches in any season since.

Kenny Golladay: Let go by G-Men
The Giants released Kenny Golladay on Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.The news comes as no surprise, as Golladay put up a pair of highly unproductive seasons for the Giants after signing a four-year, $72 million contract in 2021. The move will save New York $6.7 million against the salary cap. As for Golladay, he's unlikely to draw anything more than a one-year deal at a low salary level as he heads into free agency. The wideout had a pair of 1,000-plus yard receiving seasons in four years with the Lions but tallied a meager six catches on 17 targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in 2022.

Kenny Golladay: Will be released
The Giants will release Kenny Golladay on March 15, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.By waiting until the new league year starts, the Giants will save $6.7 million against their salary cap. The 2017 third-round pick signed a massive four-year, $72 million contract with New York in March of 2021, but he failed to live up to the lofty deal, making his release unsurprising. He posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the Lions in 2018 and 2019 and secured 16 touchdowns during that stretch. However, he's caught just 63 passes for 940 yards and three scores in 31 appearances over the past three seasons. Per Field Yates of ESPN, Golladay will still be owed $4.5 million by the Giants after his release, so he may be willing to take a cheaper deal with a contending team in 2023, though it remains to be seen what type of attention he'll draw as a free agent.

Giants' Kenny Golladay: Finally finds end zone
Kenny Golladay caught two of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.In his 26th and potentially final game for the New York Giants, Golladay finally got into the end zone for his first TD with the team, catching a 25-yard toss from Davis Webb late in the fourth quarter during a game in which New York was resting most of its starters. Golladay suited up for 12 games this season and finished with a 6-81-1 line on 17 targets, disastrous production relative to his cap hit of over $21 million. The 29-year-old has two more years remaining on his current deal, but it seems almost certain the Giants will cut him loose in the offseason.

Giants' Kenny Golladay: Not targeted Week 14
Kenny Golladay did not see any targets in the New York Giants' Week 14 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.Golladay logged only 11 offensive snaps in the contest, significantly less than the amount tallied by fellow wideouts Richie James (58), Isaiah Hodgins (57) and Darius Slayton (53). It may be hard to remember that Golladay was slated to be New York's top wideout coming into the campaign, as he hasn't come close to matching the 44 offensive snaps he logged Week 1 against Tennessee. In fact, Golladay has only two catches since the season opener, both of which came Week 11 against Detroit. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar at this point.

Giants' Kenny Golladay: Gets back to full participation
Kenny Golladay (illness) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Golladay sat out this past Sunday's 20-20 tie with the Commanders due to an illness that he came down with one day prior. Now that he's back at practice in full capacity, however, he's good to go moving forward. Still, Golladay looks to be no better than fourth in the receiver pecking order for the Giants, with all of Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins and Richie James (knee) better bets to connect with quarterback Daniel Jones on game days.

Giants' Kenny Golladay: Won't play Sunday with illness
Kenny Golladay (illness) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Commanders.Golladay was tacked on to the New York Giants' Week 13 injury report Saturday, suddenly leaving him questionable for Sunday's game due to an illness. While there was a belief he'd be able to play, he felt worse when he woke up Sunday morning and now won't be available to the team's offense, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With Golladay out, Darius Slayton (illness), Richie James (knee), Isaiah Hodgins, Marcus Johnson and David Sills are the active wide receivers for New York this week.

Giants' Kenny Golladay: Expected to play
Kenny Golladay (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, is expected to be healthy enough to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Darius Slayton (illness) is also expected to play, according to Rapoport, so Golladay may not see an increased role, although the status of fellow wideout Richie James (knee) remains uncertain. Even with New York's receiving corps becoming more and more depleted as the season has rolled along, Golladay has yet to carve out a sizable role. While suiting up in each of the New York Giants' last three games, Golladay has played between 31 and 43 percent of the snaps on offense while hauling in two of four targets for 29 yards over that span.

Giants' Kenny Golladay: Added to injury report
Kenny Golladay was added to the injury report Saturday with an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.The Giants are already dangerously thin at wide receiver and the likes of Darius Slayton (illness) and Richie James (knee) being questionable doesn't help matters either. Golladay has drawn just four targets over the last three weeks combined since returning from a multi-week absence due to a hamstring injury, but the veteran receiver has at least been soaking up a decent number of snaps per game. Expect the Giants to provide more information regarding the numerous injuries to their pass catchers before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Giants' Kenny Golladay: Invisible again Thursday
Kenny Golladay didn't draw any targets in Thursday's 28-20 loss to the Cowboys.When Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) was ruled out for the season early in the week, there was some thought that Golladay could be the primary beneficiary among the New York Giants' wide receivers. Instead, Golladay didn't see a single target for the second time this season and recorded his lowest offensive snap count (18) since Week 2 (not including games he missed due to injury). Behind clear top wideout Darius Slayton, Richie James stepped up with five catches for 41 yards and a touchdown while playing 41 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Isaiah Hodgins remained involved with three catches for 31 yards on 40 offensive snaps, so it's hard to envision Golladay as any higher than fourth on the wide-receiver depth chart at the moment.
