The New York Giants signed veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson on Thursday.

Robinson, 30, caught 34 passes for 280 yards with no touchdowns in 17 games (all starts) last season for the Steelers. He was released March 8 after one season in Pittsburgh in a money-saving move.

He is the latest addition to the wide receiver corps for New York, which selected Malik Nabers of LSU with the No. 6 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Robinson in the second round in 2014, and he spent four seasons there before moving on to the Chicago Bears (2017-21), Los Angeles Rams (2022) and Steelers.

Robinson has 562 catches for 7,028 yards and 43 touchdowns in his career. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2015 when he tallied 1,400 receiving yards, the first of his three 1,000-yard seasons.

The Giants were 6-11 last season. Their passing game ranked 31st in the NFL.
