The New York Giants will likely make some significant moves this offseason as new head coach John Harbaugh begins to make his influence felt on the roster.

Of course, it’s not like it’ll be a complete overhaul for the Giants — there’s only so much that can be done in one offseason.

And there are some players on the roster that New York undoubtedly wants to keep.

One of those players could be wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, who is set to be a free agent after catching 92 passes for 1,014 yards and four touchdowns in 2025.

Robinson is likely going to receive significant interest in free agency as he’s a proven slot receiver who would be a good fit for nearly any team.

ESPN, however, says it seems likely that Robinson will return to the Giants in 2026.

“Robinson had a great contract year, leading all wide receivers out of the slot with 622 yards and 292 yards after the catch,” noted ESPN’s Jordan Raanan this week. “It will all undoubtedly earn Robinson a significant payday. A return seems likely considering he has always been a favorite of GM Joe Schoen and the Giants need to add playmakers, not let the ones they drafted and developed walk.”

The Tennessee Titans, which just hired former Giants head coach Brian Daboll as their new offensive coordinator, could be a legitimate threat to sign Robinson in free agency, though.

“The Titans have their next leaders established in the form of head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll,” wrote PFF’s Bradley Locker on Wednesday. “The next step will be enhancing multiple spots along the roster, with more necessary at receiver…Tennessee placed 27th in team receiving grade in Cameron Ward’s rookie season, but getting Robinson to occupy the slot again for Daboll could ameliorate that.”

It’s far too early to forecast where Robinson may land. But if the Titans decide they have interest in Robinson (which seems like a good bet), it could be tough for the Giants to re-sign the former Kentucky standout. Robinson, after all, is from Frankfort, KY, which is just three hours north of Nashville.
