Slayton

JoeyBigBlue : 12/5/2022 12:54 pm
Where are you guys with Darius Slayton? He’s proven that he can be a productive receiver in this league, but he’s very very inconsistent. With his pending free agency, do you guys think he’ll be re-signed or will he gets more money somewhere else. I’m open to re-signing him but I’m not breaking the back either. Something along the lines of 4-5 mil AAV.

No you’re the loser. This thread was a great discussion about Slayton until you came in here bitching about any positive opinions on Slayton being some cheap shot at Jones. Your posts have nothing to do with opinions, they’re just attacks because your head is so far in Daniel Jones crotch that nobody is allowed to talk positively about any other player on the Giants (even though I’m not sure saying someone is serviceable is that large of a compliment). You’re the only one bitching in this thread.

The stat was offered to say simply say this:

Hey, maybe Slayton's catching% isn't as bad as we think because it falls in line with players such a X,Y,Z, etc. So, maybe he's not the stone hands being suggested...

Feels like we are trending towards needing 2 more years of evaluation on Jones. Between upgrading the roster and the time needed to develop chemistry, it's feeling like we're going to have to do at least 6 years of evaluation to know what we have.

I think we'll know by then, but if Kafka leaves or we have injuries, we might have to push out to 7 or 8

So saying other posters are wrong is not a dig? And you stated this long beofre I 1st replied.

And read another post you sent below on page 1 before I joined.

So when YOU dig on Jones and other posters YOU SAY the thread is going fine. But when it's turned- then all of a sudden the thread is ruined? I man c'mon. Again you want it to be your opinion and no one elses. Otherwise you dig. If you are okay with everyone else's then stop whining.

"It’s amazing that Only one player on this team is being held back and gets defended. And if you dare defend another player it’s an anti Jones agenda, even though he wasn’t mentioned here at all.

Saqoun is quitting. Slayton is garbage. Really fascinating to look at."


The above quote from you is a sarcastic dig at other posters while also digging at Jones too, right?

This is about dollars and value  
allstarjim : 12/5/2022 5:01 pm : link
What role do you see him filling on the Giants' next year?

If you slot him as a starter, as a #2, then you bring him back. But the Giants aren't likely to be keen on that. They are going to be shopping in free agency and the draft to improve their top two options. Wan'Dale is injured, yes. But you can get by even if your inhouse candidates like Hodgins and Marcus Johnson return, for less money out of the slot until Wan'Dale returns.

Plus slot is the easier position to fill, and Slayton isn't suited to that role.

So you bring him back as a depth piece to start in case one of your top two go down? At league minimum, sure. But I imagine there will be other newcomers to fill out the depth.

So you can't pay him $4M to be your 4th receiver, at best. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it isn't the way you allocate your cap dollars in a rebuild. For these reasons, he will either be back on a 1-year, vet min deal or similar, or he'll find greener pastures, or he'll be out of the league (least likely scenario).

First off you agree then that I didn't start the mention of Jones, right? You were replying to other posters that were sort of making positive posts about Jones while digging a bit on Slayton right? There were two other posters that made an implication regarding positive opinions on Slayton being some cheap shot at Jones. So you bullshit me when you said that it was me that started it, right? That's why you mentioned Jones in the 1ts place and started with "It's amazing . . . " Just another example of you being a bullshitter.

And you seem to think that I take it personal when you and others dig at Jones. Read the post I sent to Jerry from DC at 3:25 PM. If you want to to dig on Jones go ahead. If you want to hate him, go for it. But just admit you hate the guy. It’s okay. But you and Jerry and BW and many others have this pretense that you are being fair and maybe you would be but then you begin to dig into others with arrogance and sarcasm etc. fi they don’t agree with you. That would be fine too. But you have to be able to take it coming back at you.

It's okay you dig. Just take it when it comes back at you. And if you want to dig more-- okay. But expect a counter.

I mean look at Jerry now in regards to Slayton. Read his latest post or 2 on Slayton vs the Jones supporters. What if I really do agree with SY’s assertion that the WR core stinks (including Slayton which SY has digged), and all-the-while can’t believe / am amazed that someone like Jerry is wasting this much time defending a 3rd/4th stringer? You mean I’m not supposed to go after someone like Jerry who I have very little respect for while reading what SY has said about the WR core? So, I’m supposed to give Jerry some type of hug? Even though I think he’s wrong on what he says? And as he keeps firing away more posts in the manner he does digging on other posters, don’t you think that warrants some harshness back at him too? That goes for you as well. You could take it. So take it. Don’t be whining though about who blew up the thread. You were already digging other posters with your reply.
That post was in response to Mike in MD

Accusing someone of only being positive about Slayton as part of their anti Jones agenda. You’re continuing to make this thread about the same thing.

How are you this asinine?
I think he's a decent 3rd option  
AcesUp : 12/5/2022 5:17 pm : link
Not sure how that lines up with the cost of bringing him back. His market value is kind of a hard one to peg. Zay Jones got 3yr 24m and 14 guaranteed, so it's not out of the question he could fetch something similar. I'd pass on that.
If I'm Slayton I want to try FA  
thefan : 12/5/2022 5:43 pm : link
because the Giants either won't be interested or from his perspective will low ball him. His ideal spot is somewhere he can come in as the #2 or #3 with an established WR1 already on the roster on a prove it deal.

But yes, I'd have him back on a lowball prove it deal knowing we need to spend a 1st on a WR and sign a possession WR too.
And Sy would be correct

Just to clear the dense fog that's getting in your head here - no one is saying Slayton is Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, Davante Adams, etc.

But Slayton is not this scrap heap player that he's best depicted here.


No, he is not complete shit, but he is no better than a #3 or #4 WR. He is NOT a #2 WR on any team other than the Giants.

Regarding his yardage total for this year, he is really the only guy who has been healthy enough to accumulate those yards.

Completely agree ... Hopefully there is a Blue chip WR waiting for us in the first round in 2023. We need a lot of help there. Slayton would be the #3 on any team with above average talent at that position.

See this is the type of shit that pisses me off about this fucking site. How the fuck am I making a "moronic" comment. Mostly everyone on this site, including me, wanted him cut in training camp. He took a pay cut with the team, and kept his mouth shut. The guy never complained. He got his opportunity and he's producing for us. The only WR on this team worth anything. He's proven everyone on this site wrong. I'll goto war with a player like Slayton any day of the week, and I would welcome him back on the team at the right price.

Behind Saquon, Thomas and Jones that he’s been the 4th most valuable player on offense.

Is he a number 1? No. But he’s a very good complimentary receiver. The drop yesterday is fresh on a lot of peoples minds…and they quickly forget the number of clutch catches and big plays he’s made (including one yesterday that led to points and one versus Dallas- both plays were a result of him making a great play on the ball)

If you get a true number 1, Slayton would really thrive with his ability to win vertically and track the deep ball. He’s a big play guy/vertical- not a possession guy.

I’d be happy to have him back at a reasonable price.

Go ahead and name a team that has 4 WR’s better than Slayton. Better yet, find me 75 receivers in the entire league who are better than him. Calling him a number 5 is comical. We aren’t talking about fantasy football league with 10 or 12 teams…

Slayton is a low end number 2, good #3.

With bringing back Slayton on a cheap short term deal. We aren’t going to find 2 starting receivers in the draft. If he’s brought back to be a #2 or #3, while a rookie gets acclimated, and or Wandale gets back, we will be fine.
Sign him to a modest contract as the Y receiver  
sharp315 : 12/6/2022 8:38 am : link
He will take it. He is the team's leading receiver in 2022 and was the leading receiver in 2019 and 2020. He has his flaws but he's not a big body X. Pair him up with a legit contested catch X receiver (like what Golladay is supposed to be) and you've got a pretty nice combo with Slayton's burner speed and Wandale's quickness and agility underneath.

Without Slayton this offense would be literally just Saquon getting stuffed at the line and DJ scrambling. We'd be average about 50 yards a game. Get real. Slayton is the only receiver on this time right now.

Jerry in_DC : 12/6/2022 11:10 am : link
Look at the market. Slayton is on his way to 3 700 yard seasons in a terrible offense and he's on an 1100 yard pace since he started playing this year.

Kirk got $18 M/year, Chark got $10 M, Zay Jones got 8, Gage got 10, Gallup $11

If we could keep him on a cheap contract it would be a really good deal for us considering how desperate we are at receiver and what the market looks like now

but he's better than replacement level. Not a bad player, but can't be your only WR that can get deep or distract an opposing defense.

but if you do the math on his drop percentage, its not as bad as you think, compared to others.

Second worst in the league isn't as bad compared to ONE other. Literally only one person drops the ball at a higher rate than Slayton. WTF are you talking about?
I like Slayton.

But he is what he is. A fast WR with limited ball skill and bad hands. I like that he can get open and stretch the defense.
Easily outplayed his rookie contract.
Just tough to pay a guy to catch a ball when he isn't that great at it.

I dont think he'll be expensive to keep, but speed sells and every team in the NFL is looking for speed and potential at WR. You don't even have to have serious productivity to get a Christian Kirk contract.

If he's inexpensive I'd resign him in a heartbeat. But I think he will look to cash in on his productivity...he might even have a bad taste in his mouth after he took a pay cut for us.

I do think having a burner at the Y receiver keeps a defense honest. If Golladay was even a fraction of what he was supposed to be I think Slayton in the Y as a deep threat and Golladay of old in the X would have been a nice compliment. Golladay might not be back in the league next year at this rate and Slayton might be on another team.
