Free agent wide receiver Parris Campbell is signing a one-year deal with New York Giants, a source confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.
He becomes the latest pass catcher added by the Giants for quarterback Daniel Jones this offseason, following the trade with the Las Vegas Raiders for tight end Darren Waller and signing of New York Jets free agent wide receiver Jeff Smith.
The news of the Giants’ deal with Campbell was first reported by theScore.com.
Campbell’s entry into free agency came on the heels of the first full season of his career. He appeared in 17 games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2022 after having never played in more than seven games in any one season.
His career marred by a litany of injuries, Campbell, 25, was eager to demonstrate what he could do when healthy. He was somewhat limited by the Colts’ quarterback difficulties — Indianapolis started three different QBs during the 2022 season — but Campbell shattered his career highs with 63 catches for 623 yards.
Campbell was used extensively as a slot receiver with Indianapolis, but his speed does give him the potential to be a target on deeper shots.
A 2019 second-round pick out of Ohio State, Campbell has 97 receptions for 983 yards and 5 touchdowns over his four NFL seasons. He also has 175 rushing yards.
