The New York Giants are adding some help to the wide receiver room ahead of the summer.
According to NFL columnist Pat Leonard, the team is signing veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson II.
After being cut by the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this offseason, the former Pro Bowler finds a new home in New York.
The #Giants have signed veteran WR Allen Robinson II, the team announced.
Robinson, 30, started all 17 games for the #Steelers last season, had 34 catches for 280 yards.

Earlier in his career, Robinson was a really good player.
He was a No. 1 wide receiver on offensively-challenged teams such as the Jaguars and Bears for a combined eight years.
The former Penn State Nittany Lion has three career 1,000-yard seasons in his 10-year career.
His best season came with the Jaguars in 2015 as an NFL sophomore.
He caught 80 receptions for a career-best 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns.
When a receiver puts up those numbers in Jacksonville of all places, it will get some attention.
Now, Robinson is a role player.
The Giants will be his fourth team in the last four years.
He has not recorded over 40 receptions and 500 yards since his second-to-last year with the Bears in 2020, which saw him set a career-best mark for receptions (102).
The Giants definitely needed help at the wide receiver spot.
Over the last two seasons, they have lost veterans Sterling Shepard, Parris Campbell, and Richie James.
Robinson will be able to come in and help out whoever the starting quarterback will be.
It could be either Daniel Jones or journeyman Drew Lock.
But, now the Giants at least have some depth at wide receiver.
Remember, they drafted LSU All-American Malik Nabers in the draft.
Now, they get Robinson.
