The New York Giants have a decision to make on wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson.

Robinson is slated to hit free agency this offseason after putting together a career year that saw him break the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career while also scoring four touchdowns.

The Giants will have to weigh giving Robinson a new deal, which Spotrac projects could cost around $63 million over four years, or to let him walk in free agency.

It's quite conceivable the latter could happen, as the Giants might not want to pay that much for someone who will be their No. 2 receiver behind Malik Nabers.

One thing working in favor of the Giants keeping Robinson is Nabers is uncertain to be ready for the start of the season, something he admitted to recently.

Commanders predicted to sign Wan'Dale Robinson

Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine doesn't think the Giants will retain Robinson and instead predicts Robinson will land with the Washington Commanders.

The Commanders, Raiders and Titans all have needs at wide receiver and over $110 million in cap space. The market could be there for Robinson to have a surprisingly big contract.

Prediction:  Robinson signs a multi-year deal with the Washington Commanders

The Commanders make sense as a possible landing spot for Robinson.

After all, the team's No. 2 receiver, Deebo Samuel, is set to be a free agent in 2026 and the Commanders might be hesitant to bring him back as he prepares to turn 30 in January.

Washington should look to get younger at the position, and a shake-up at wide receiver is now more possible after the team parted ways with Kliff Kingsbury.

Robinson would make the Commanders younger while also offering an added element thanks to his deep-threat ability.

Assuming Robinson can continue playing at the high level he was in 2025, a one-two punch of he and Terry McLaurin would be a good one for Jayden Daniels.

While Robinson could be costly, the Commanders are sitting pretty with a projected $67.1 million in cap space, so they can afford to pay significant money to a second wide receiver.
