Cody Latimer will make the move from Denver to the Big Apple, announcing (via Twitter) he has agreed to terms with the Giants.
Adam Schefter of ESPN.com confirmed the signing (Twitter link), which will relocate a former second-round pick who spent four seasons with the Broncos. Although Latimer didn’t live up to his draft status, he served as a valuable special-teamer in Denver and showed some promise late in his contract year.
The 25-year-old wide receiver did not exceed 100 air yards in a season until 2017, when he 19 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns. The Indiana product will join several Giants attempting to fill in behind Odell Beckham and Sterling Shepard. Latimer will reunite with Tyke Tolbert, whom the Giants recently hired as their wide receivers coach. Tolbert coached Latimer in each of his four Broncos seasons.
Denver has now lost both of its top reserve wideouts, having also non-tendered RFA Bennie Fowler last week.
Sounds like a sleeper at best, at worst a valuable special teams contributor.
I’m still hoping they trade Beckham for a top 10 pick so they can draft Nelson.
2018 Giants = Arizona east, and Carolina north.
He’s from Denver genius
Very good special teams, questionable value as receiver
