The New York Jets are reportedly considering a trade with the New York Giants for wide receiver Jalin Hyatt to bolster their lackluster receiving corps. ESPN's Rich Cimini highlighted that with Garrett Wilson as the only reliable target, the Jets are in dire need of an impact player.
Hyatt, who the Giants drafted in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has struggled to become the deep threat anticipated. With only 31 receptions for 435 yards over 33 games, he has found himself on the sidelines more than expected. His frustration with his current role could make him an appealing option for the Jets, especially if the Giants opt for another receiver in the upcoming draft.
Quarterback Russell Wilson's recent signing could revitalize Hyatt's career, given Wilson’s proficiency in throwing deep. If the Giants pass on a two-way star in the draft, they may be reluctant to part with Hyatt, who might still fulfill potential in a better-suited offensive setup.
