Hakeem Nicks and his giant hands are not going to be in Giants uniform this season. After spending his entire NFL career in New York, the star wide receiver will be teaming up with Andrew "Caveman" Luck, T.Y. Hilton, and the many other talents at Indianapolis. Nicks signed a one-year deal with the Colts worth $5.5 million.

Nicks' exit from New York has been coming for a while. Not only is he injury prone; Nicks has reportedly been fined for missing team meetings and treatments. He also finished 2013 with less than 1,000 yards and no touchdowns. Nicks joined Roc Nation Sports after the season ended.

It'll be interesting to see how Nicks fits in with the sometimes explosive Colts offense (remember January). Adjusting from a baby-faced quarterback to a fiercely bearded one shouldn't be that hard.
