New York Giants Eye Veteran WR Keenan Allen as Jaxson Dart’s Progress Remains Under Scrutiny

The New York Giants are being linked to veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen, a 34‑year‑old six‑time Pro Bowler who posted 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns last season with the Los Angeles Chargers. Analysts suggest Allen would give rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart a reliable target as the team rebuilds its passing attack.

Dart, the 23‑year‑old second‑round pick, enters his second season amid doubts about his development. The Giants have been hampered by injuries, including WR Malik Nabers’ torn ACL and a season‑ending injury to running back Cam Skattebo, and the November dismissal of head coach Brian Daboll. With the WR1 spot uncertain and the offense lacking consistency, the potential addition of Allen is portrayed as a logical fit to stabilize the unit while Dart gains experience.
