Schoen said the addition of Malik Nabers doesn't make Darius Slayton expendable in a trade. Schoen noted that they already paid Slayton a $2.4M roster bonus in March. He only has $2.7M in salary for this season. Schoen obviously views that as good value for Slayton's production.

I love Hyatt, but he's got to beat out Slayton to earn more touches.
What a change to the WR room  
larryflower37 : 4/26/2024 10:23 pm : link
All on rookie deals
Nabors
Hyatt
Robinson.
Major change from 3 years ago.

Yes. Daboll made it clear why he wasn’t being used more last year.
The Giants' have all the leverage here.  
St. Jimmy : 4/26/2024 10:24 pm : link
There is no reason to trade him. He has to perform for that next contract.

I actually paused to not look too eager.
Slayton is the 3rd

Best WR on this roster with a reasonable salary. Why trade him? You will not get more than a 6th or 7th. Makes no sense.

Per christian, you are way off. It's actually...

1. Slayton






2. Nabers
3. Hyatt

I'm a pretty big Slayton fan as well, is there an application or anything to join the official fan club?
Never thought it was a logical option to trade him in the first place  
bwitz : 4/26/2024 10:46 pm : link
The sixth or seventh rounder they likely would’ve gotten for him probably wasn’t going to offset what is a known commodity on offense.
Of course he isn't trading him  
ZogZerg : 4/26/2024 10:49 pm : link
People are clueless
Remember, "Don't sleep on Slayton" ? ...

Very proud of all the work he put in to do stuff like this last year ...

The only trouble is the man under center. I still have no faith in Jones.
We have turned  
TommyWiseau : 4/26/2024 11:25 pm : link
A major weakness into a strength. Hopefully Hyatt can take that next step, Robinson gets healthy and Slayton can continue to give us the consistant production that he has been giving us.
He’s a 700 yard Wr  
Rudy5757 : 4/26/2024 11:26 pm : link
He’s a great 3 or 4, not a very good #1. Lacks confidence to be a #1. Maybe Nabers can teach him to be a dog and attack the ball.

I wouldn’t trade him, he has to come in and play. Nabers killed his leverage. Nabers & Robinson make a good 1/2 with Hyatt and Slayton rotating at 3/4 is a very solid group.

Nabers allows us to get everyone in position to be successful.
Slayton is a true IQ test fan of Giants fans  
Brandon Walsh : 4/27/2024 1:26 am : link
Especially considering the value they get from him relative to his contract and how he’s constantly getting better in Daboll’s offense.

He was awesome the second half of last year relative to the trash we had on the offensive side of the ball. Now he can play opposite a true #1. On that contract.

Anyone that wants to get rid of him for a mid round pick (at best)- shows your football intellect relative to skill / team building / and most likely important value relative to todays salary cap
Whatever

Doesn’t matter one way or the other.
I just love when fans think...  
DefenseWins : 4/27/2024 5:50 am : link
guys like this are expendable. When was the last time we went through a season without an injury to a WR?

So, even if Slayton is not a starter, this team has had no depth in the past at any position. Knowing that Slayton is the next guy off of the bench vs our #1 anymore is huge.
