The Giants signed Indianapolis Colts free agent wide receiver Parris Campbell on Thursday to a one-year contract worth up to $6.7 million on Thursday, sources told the Daily News.

A Giants reunion wouldn’t be feasible with his reported $15-20 million salary ask, either. It would have to happen more creatively to fit under the team’s salary cap. So while it’s unlikely, with suitors like the Cowboys, Bills, …read more
