I really like Hakeem Nicks, so I’m hoping these rumors about the Giants shopping him aren’t true. Hakeem has heard about the rumors and when asked about it yesterday at practice, he made a strong statement. Check out his reaction…
Via ESPN:
New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks said he is aware that his name has come up in trade rumors, but so far no one in the organization has said anything to him about it and, as of now, he expects to finish the season with the team.
“I’m a Giant, and that’s the only thing I can focus on right now,” Nicks said after practice Monday morning. “I’m a Giant, and I love playing for the Giants. I’m a Giant right now, and I’m going to stand strong on that.”
Nicks is in the final year of his contract. The team signed wide receiver Victor Cruz to a long-term deal in the offseason and has made second-year wide receiver Rueben Randle a significant part of the passing game, even as he continues to develop. Randle has been targeted 43 times to Nicks’ 46 and Cruz’s 60.

“I’m sure they’ve got enough respect for me to come to me and talk to me about a situation like that,” Nicks said. “As of now, I’m a Giant. At the end of the day, business is business. But I haven’t been getting any whiff of anything like that. I’m a Giant right now, and I’m going to enjoy it, and we’ve got to start winning games.”
