The drama surrounding receiver Jalin Hyatt and his potential desire to be traded by the New York Giants has taken another twist. After an ESPN.com report suggested that Hyatt believes the Giants should either use him or trade him, the player himself has come out and vehemently denied such claims.
In a statement to reporters on Friday, Hyatt stated, “I didn’t say that. I don’t know where that came from, but that’s false. I love being here. . . . I got so much respect for [the Giants] trading up for me and getting me. So, whatever that rumor was, it’s not true at all.”
Hyatt seems to be standing his ground on the issue, insisting that he is fully committed to the Giants and is focusing on the team’s upcoming game against Cleveland. Despite being benched in recent games and seeing limited playing time, Hyatt remains steadfast in his loyalty to the organization.
However, with a lackluster performance last week against the Commanders and a disappointing start to the season, it’s understandable why there may be speculation about Hyatt’s future with the team. Last year’s statistics, with only 23 catches for 373 yards and no touchdowns, coupled with his current status on the second team, have led to questions about his potential value to the Giants.
The ongoing debate surrounding Hyatt’s trade desires raises the question of whether he truly wants out of New York. Despite the conflicting reports and denials from the player himself, it’s clear that there is unrest within the Giants organization. As the team gears up to face Cleveland, all eyes will be on Hyatt to see how he performs and whether he can prove his worth on the field. Only time will tell what the future holds for Jalin Hyatt and his relationship with the New York Giants.
