New York Giants sign WR Xavier Gipson

Gipson is a depth/rotational WR and return specialist with minimal starting experience. Signing him addresses special teams depth but represents a below-average offensive upgrade. The quick cycle (claim, cut, reclaim) suggests uncertainty about his role. Useful reserve piece but not a meaningful contributor to playoff contention.
