Keyshawn Johnson is exploring a return to the city where he became famous as much for his off-field statements as for his on-field pass catching.
The former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver was visiting with the New York Giants on Tuesday, a team official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of team policy.
Johnson was released by the Cowboys a week ago, just hours after the Philadelphia Eagles released controversial wideout Terrell Owens.
Dallas signed Owens to a three-year, $25 million contract last Saturday.
Johnson, 33, the overall No. 1 pick in the draft in 1996, caught 305 passes for 31 touchdowns in four years with the New York Jets but often voiced his displeasure at not being a bigger part of the offense. After his rookie season in 1996, he released an autobiography titled "Just Give Me The Damn Ball!"
He later spent four years with Tampa Bay and caught 106 passes - but only one touchdown - for the Bucs in 2001, and was acquired by Dallas in a trade for Joey Galloway after the Bucs deactivated him for the final four games of the 2003 season.
