The New York Giants signed veteran wide receiver Cole Beasley and running back James Robinson, the team announced Friday.

Beasley's pact is a one-year deal, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports.

Beasley played in two contests with the Buffalo Bills and a pair of games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022, hauling in six receptions for 35 yards.

The 34-year-old announced his retirement after two games with the Buccaneers but returned to the Bills ahead of Week 15.

Beasley reunites with head coach Brian Daboll in New York. Daboll was the Bills' offensive coordinator during Beasley's time in Buffalo from 2019-21. The Giants named Daboll head coach ahead of the 2022 campaign, leading the team to a 9-7-1 record in his first season at the helm.

Beasley has 5,744 receiving yards and 34 touchdowns on 556 career receptions.

Robinson will provide depth at running back and could see a healthy portion of snaps if Saquon Barkley holds out from signing his franchise tag. He'd likely split work with Matt Breida, Gary Brightwell, and Eric Gray if Barkley misses any time.

The soon-to-be 25-year-old runner has 2,262 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground through 39 career games.
