Wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has re-signed with the New York Giants on a one-year contract. Hodgins, a fan favorite, took to social media to express his excitement, posting a three-word message: "God is good." Hodgins had a breakout season with the Giants in 2022 after being claimed off waivers, catching 33 passes for 351 yards and 4 touchdowns. He's looking to build on that success and secure a roster spot for the 2026 season.

Why it matters

Hodgins emerged as a key contributor to the Giants' offense in 2022 and his return provides continuity and depth at the wide receiver position. As a former sixth-round draft pick, Hodgins has had to fight for his roster spot, and his re-signing demonstrates the team's faith in his abilities to be a productive part of their passing attack.

The details

Hodgins was originally drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2020 but was released in November 2022, at which point the Giants claimed him off waivers. He went on to have a breakout season, catching 33 passes for 351 yards and 4 touchdowns in just 8 games. Hodgins was an integral part of the Giants' offense led by Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley. After the 2022 season, Hodgins' role decreased, but the team brought him back in November 2025. Now, he's signed a one-year deal to remain with the Giants for the 2026 season.
