Really like Slayton but the draft is loaded with WR. Hell, he was a 5th round pick that got a 2nd contract. There is a good chance NYG finds another mid round WR.
He is a career 700 yard WR. He is what he is. I like Slayton but I think his problem is between the ears. He needs to attack the ball. Instead he waits for it. But 6 years in it’s the same old Slayton, he’s not going to become a 1300 yard WR.
He’s been a team player, a good guy all around but let’s be honest, he’s an average WR at best. He was their #4 WR going into 2022 and only made the team because of injuries. Has he gotten better? Yeah. He’s caught the ball better which was his biggest issue.
But tell me this, how many teams in the NFL is he a #2 WR on? Not many.

That 700 yards a year lead the team 4 of the last 5 years!

I hope this doesn't turn into a Barkley situation where we defend the player saying he was our best WR so we cannot move on.
I like Slayton more than most I believe, but get real lol
if it's less about him seeking more money from the current contract, or more about him seeking more years.
probably both.
ill say this, i think slayton in buffalo would have been better than gabe davis, and somehow that guy got 23m guaranteed.
the same was true of MVS and he had gotten about the same a few years ago.
slayton also as good or better than lazard probably.
i dont know why his market was so cool last year, MVS makes even more mistakes than Slayton ever made, but i think if he had hit FA this year he'd have gotten more than 10m guaranteed.
id be willing to trade him but if he's reasonable id also be willing to negotiate an extension.
im not sure he's reasonable, and he may see writing on wall that in a walk year there may not be so many balls for him if nyg end up with a top WR (along with hyatt/robinson, waller who knows).
than most seem to be giving him here. He's been a relatively healthy, and tough through injuries player. Considering our offense, I think he's making a very calculated move here.
Trust me, nobody mistakes him for Ceedee, but he would upgrade KC in a picosecond.
His contract provides some surplus value to the Giants
and NYG could probably trade him for an early day 3 pick. But, he just signed the contract a year ago and you usually don't see players of his caliber hold out.
He'll ultimately show up to camp. Even if NYG takes a WR1 at #6, a WR room with Nabers, Robinson, Slayton, Hyatt, Hodgkins and whoever is better with him on the team.
been harder on Slayton than me. I can't stand all his drops especially on deep TD passes. However I have to say last year he really caught the ball well. If he can do that again it would be nice.
He should get an extension. He’s been our best WR with trash at QB the past few years.
Would love to see him with someone like Penix at QB. Could be a solid 2/3 for us.
I like Hyatt’s potential but he’s still a projection at this point.
Robinson’s a pure slot guy.
Slayton is right to be looking for a long-term deal. His deal was short-term and he’s in his prime now. After the draft, we’ll have to either fish or cut bait with him.
So that instantly makes the rookie the new number 1. He also sees Hyatt emerging along with Robinson.
It’s not hard to imagine his numbers dipping (especially with our QB play) and is probably trying to strike while his value is at his highest.
The problem he has is no leverage. He's the 'best' Giants WR 200 yards ahead of a guy with one good hamstring who might retire and missed 5 games.
Does he really move the needle offensively if he never plays another down for NYG? I am going with no. He's better off asking for a trade if he wants a new deal.
Slayton - ( New Window )
Probably saw Jones get paid and stink it up he figured it’s worth a shot

But tell me this, how many teams in the NFL is he a #2 WR on? Not many.
Yeah he drives me crazy with this. It’s cost us so many big plays.

It’s not like he’s making $2M on a rookie contract and is really worth $15M. He’s making over $8M this year and may be worth an extra couple mil.
Agreed. I also like him more than most here. He was a very good pick by DG. But I don't think he's worth $10.7M a year.

christian needs to get here asap.

Too big of a body catcher and has had problems with drops in his career. You don't pay these guys big dollars. You keep drafting WR's.

I have already filed the missing persons report.
I can also appreciate a guy like him realizing he probably only gets one more shot at a contract.
But he’s not elite, and probably not long for the team if he’s going to push this too long.
Would love to see him with someone like Penix at QB. Could be a solid 2/3 for us.
