Raanan did add that a trade involving Hyatt is not expected, as heโ€™s โ€œstill in their plans.โ€

โ€œI didnโ€™t say that,โ€ Hyatt denied that he mentioned the trade possibility, via the Associated Press. โ€œI donโ€™t know where that came from, but thatโ€™s false. I love being here. . . . I got so much respect for [the Giants] trading up for me and getting me. So, whatever that rumor was, itโ€™s not true at all.โ€

โ€œI didnโ€™t say anything about any trades or wanted to be somewhere or not getting this, not getting that,โ€ Hyatt added. โ€œLike I said, my focus is on this team, what we got to do, how we got to get better. And our focus is on Cleveland.โ€

Hyatt, 22, was a Unanimous All-American in 2022 and won the Fred Biletnikoff Award along with being a first-team All-SEC selection. The Giants traded up to select him in the third round with the No. 73 overall pick.

Hyatt is in the second year of his four-year, $5,625,314 rookie contract that includes a $1,091,137 signing bonus.

In 2024, Hyatt has appeared in two games for the Giants and has yet to register a catch.

During his three-year college career at Tennessee, Hyatt appeared in 29 games and caught 108 passes for 1,769 yards and 19 touchdowns.
