Hope he continues to get some burn in that Giants offense. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/02/16/giants-re-sign-isaiah-hodgins/ Quote Wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins was a bright spot in the Giants passing game during the 2022 season and he’ll be back for more in 2023. The Giants announced that they have re-signed Hodgins on Thursday. He was set to be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Not worked up over this. He would’ve been nice this past year, but the Bills need a legit WR2, which would’ve made Hodgins a WR4 at best, likely WR5 behind Shakir next year … assuming that we do right by Josh (which is apparently assuming a lot).

He DOES have talent, and a new WR coach might help. I appreciate a WR coming back with a high ankle sprain because his team needed him. You can say it didn’t cause the drops, to which I reply I still have more faith in him than many. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not giving up on him. In fact, I look for a big rebound season if he stays healthy. Of course. I'm in NYC area. Davis is a guy the radio guys - Tiki barber, Bart Scott, Craig Carton etc have talked about the Gmen acquiring to get Jones some weapons. They must've thought he was a FA this year but they all spoke very highly of Davis. Let's face it, Hodgins just couldn't Crack our roster and it took multiple injuries and Toney trade for Dabol and Co to aquire him. It's not like he was plucked off the p.s immediately. 31 other teams passed on him for weeks but it's a great story and wish him well. If Davis, hypothetically, was on the p.s, he'd be signed by someone that day. He's clearly superior to Hodgins and is a great WR to have as a big role player. His awareness is great, he generally excels at "toe drag swag" and controlling his feet, his big play ability is great, he just has too many drops unfortunately. Just doesn't cut it as an every down WR but great chess piece as a role player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Bills fans need to let this one go. Hodgins made plays for the giants because they had exactly no one else. Darius Slayton led the team with 724 yards on 46 catches. Barkley had the most catches with 57, Richie James also had 57. Good for him making the most of his opportunity, but this is not letting go of Danny Woodhead for a backup FB like Rex did once or Wes Welker like chargers/dolphins did. If Hodgins ever tops 700 yards in a season, I will be shocked 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Poor Giants and their fans. Those 60-75 (or even more) receptions are going to be a noose around their necks. A panic decision by them at $870,000. I know, I know, I know. I'll apologize now. "We had so many good receiver in front of him," "if he were that good he would have proved it on the field," "he couldn't block or play special teams," "yada, yada, yada." "They Bills know way more than us, and we are just stupid plebes." "Don't question The Process." "They've been here since 2017 and you've only been following the team for half century." "You are going to die without seeing them ever win a Super Bowl and that is completely OK." "We Jack***es coming in with 🙄 emojis in response to this post have it all together and know how wrong you are, because even though what you are saying actually happened and is frustrating, the contrary result is better for us in the long run because [insert stupid reason here]." "I would take you more seriously if you didn't [insert grammar or punctuation error here]." "Eat at Joe's, because the chili really isn't that bad." "The best thing we could have ever done was get Lamonica off this team." OK, OK, there...are we good? I will eat at Joe's.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Although I like him, a one year deal at the veteran minimum doesn't scream a valued starter to me. He'll probably be a bench player with limited playing time. If he is anything more than that, the Giants will be in big trouble with the position again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giants are almost barren at the position and it was a no-brainer on their part. He's a decent warm body and place holder until they can flesh out the position. It's a CYA move at a small cost for the team and a 'prove it' deal for Hodgins. Maybe he has a serviceable career or better, maybe not. Good for him. Hopefully, for his sake, he can finally stay healthy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the point if Hodgins would have been given a real chance on the active roster rather than say Mckenzie, which cost more money & really didn't do as much as they thought for the money he's paid we could have possibly seen Josh develop a chemistry with Hodgins a much bigger (what they thought when drafted) slot receiver & had him longer for less money . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie and Crowder were the perceived answer at slot receiver last year and now it looks like having Shakir and Hodgins would have been the better choice going into this season.
