Kenny Golladay has yet to find his new team and he currently remains to be one of the more prominent names still available on the free agency market. As it turns out, the wide receiver's next stop might be the New York Giants.
According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Golladay is currently in talks with the Giants for a potential deal:
The #Giants have been in talks with #Lions star FA WR Kenny Golladay, source said, and expect them to bring him in for a visit prior to signing him to a deal. There is mutual interest.

To be clear, nothing is imminent as of yet. What is of note here is that both parties appear to be interested in a possible deal. However, it remains to be seen if the Giants are willing to meet Golladay's wage demands.
After spending the first four years of his career with the Detroit Lions, Golladay recently became a free agent following Detroit's decision not to use the franchise tag on him. This came as a bit of a surprise for some, but for opposing teams, it presented itself as an opportunity to pounce on the Pro Bowl wide receiver. This appears to be the case now for the Giants.
New York will need to act fast if they want to swoop in on Golladay, though, as the 27-year-old has also been linked to a couple of other teams already. It's not as if every other squad in the league is jumping at the opportunity to sign Golladay, but the Giants still have some competition to fend off if they are really intent in bringing Golladay to New York.
