Giants Wide Receiver Parris Campbell Eyed as Replacement for Bengals’ Tyler Boyd
The New York Giants faced struggles with their wide receivers in 2023, including Parris Campbell, a veteran who didn’t shine. However, Campbell is now being considered a suitable candidate to join the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2024 NFL free agency and help fill the gap left by Tyler Boyd, a veteran slot receiver.
Despite a disappointing season with the Giants, Campbell is seen as one of the best fits for the Bengals, according to Jay Morrison of The Pro Football Network. Campbell has primarily played in the slot, with a low drop rate since entering the league in 2019. His reliability could be valuable for the Bengals, especially as they seek to replace Boyd, who is expected to play for another team in 2024.
Campbell’s potential market value of $3.5 million on a one-year deal, as projected by Spotrac.com, is also appealing to the Bengals, who may be interested in adding another affordable veteran receiver for the slot.
The Giants, on the other hand, do not have a pressing need for Campbell, especially with the emergence of Wan’Dale Robinson, a promising slot receiver.
Campbell’s stint with the Giants did not live up to expectations. Despite signing a one-year contract worth $3 million, he struggled to make an impact and was often left inactive by head coach Brian Daboll. Campbell’s lack of production, including just three starts and 27 targets, led to questions about his role within the team.
In contrast, Robinson, in just eight starts, proved his worth, showcasing his ability to gain first downs and yards after the catch. His performance has garnered praise from players like CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys.
For the Giants, making Robinson a focal point of their passing game could help improve their offense and support quarterback Daniel Jones. While Campbell may not have thrived in New York, he could find success in Cincinnati as Boyd’s replacement.
