Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, who just signed a lucrative four-year, $78 million deal with the Tennessee Titans in free agency, took a shot at his former team, the New York Giants, during a recent interview. Robinson cited the lack of a consistent starting quarterback as a key factor in his decision to leave New York, where he had a breakout 1,000-yard season in 2025.

Why it matters

Robinson's comments highlight the importance of quarterback stability for wide receivers in the NFL. The Giants have struggled to find a long-term answer at the position, which may have contributed to Robinson's decision to sign elsewhere.

In his interview with the Titans' YouTube channel, Robinson expressed excitement about playing with Tennessee's young QB Cam Ward, saying 'it'll be nice to know that we got our guy back there.' Robinson is coming off a career-best 1,014-yard season in 2025 with the Giants.
