The Facts: With Domenik Hixon and Ramses Barden testing the market and unlikely to return to Gotham, the New York Giants are adding depth at wide receiver. Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger reported Saturday that the Giants have agreed to terms with Murphy, who started five games for the Carolina Panthers last season. ProFootballTalk.com reported that Murphy will sign a one-year deal.

Diehards Line:Murphy, 25, never has caught more than 41 passes in any of his four NFL seasons, but he gives the Giants a young target to develop behind Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz. Murphy spent his first three seasons in the league with the Oakland Raiders from 2009 to 2011, accounting for 90 catches, 1,371 yards and six touchdowns. He was a role player in Cam Newton's Panthers attack last season, generating 336 yards and one score through the air.
