Who Should I Start? Lil'Jordan Humphrey or Xavier Restrepo

Friday, May 9, 10:22 PM

The New York Giants released wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Friday, a source told The Athletic's Dan Duggan. Humphrey will head right back to the free-agent market after signing with the G-Men in late March. Humphrey posted career-highs in catches (31), targets (45) and receiving yards (293) while catching one touchdown pass in 17 regular-season games (seven starts) in his second year with the Denver Broncos in 2024. The 27-year-old was set to serve as wideout depth in the Big Apple this year, but he has lost his roster spot after the Giant recently signed five undrafted rookie free-agent wideouts. Humphrey should latch on with another team as receiver depth. In six NFL seasons, Humphrey has produced only 62 receptions for 770 yards and seven touchdowns on 92 targets over 58 games played (23 starts).

TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt highlights rookie wide receiver Xavier Restrepo as a player to watch heading into training camp this summer. Restrepo was added as an undrafted free agent after he was a teammate of quarterback Cam Ward at the University of Miami. The 23-year-old is a fierce competitor who looked comfortable in spring practices. Wyatt writes that Restrepo's 11 catches led all receivers during the five open practices to the media this offseason. If he continues to play that well during camp, the Titans may find it hard to cut him from the active roster going into the regular season. Restrepo had 1,000 yards receiving in his final two seasons with the Hurricanes. He's merely one to watch because of his chemistry with Ward, but he's not an exceptional athlete and is going to face an uphill battle for a roster spot.
