The New York Giants appear serious about adding wide receiver depth before the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
By restructuring contracts for cornerback Paulson Adebo and safety Jevon Holland, the team freed approximately $4.8 million in cap space.
Those moves have fueled speculation that New York is positioning itself for a significant roster addition.
Reports indicate the Giants have reached out to multiple teams about acquiring pass-catching help for their struggling offense.
Easton Butler of Packer Report confirmed that New York contacted Green Bay about potentially trading for one of the Packers’ receivers.

The Giants have been navigating the season without star wide receiver Malik Nabers, who suffered a torn ACL and meniscus early in the campaign.
In response, New York has leaned heavily on a conservative, run-focused offensive approach.
General manager Joe Schoen clearly understands the need to bolster the supporting cast and has been active in exploring potential acquisitions.
Green Bay currently has Christian Watson on PUP and Jayden Reed on injured reserve, but their receiver depth remains considerable.
If Watson returns soon, he will join Romeo Doubs, first-round pick Matthew Golden, Malik Heath, Dontayvion Wicks, and third-round selection Savion Williams.
The 25-year-old Doubs could be a realistic target for New York, as he is entering the final year of his four-year contract signed in 2022.
Whether the Giants can successfully upgrade their roster before the deadline remains uncertain.
