The Giants' longest-tenured receiver spoke to former NFL receiver Keyshown Johnson about the upcoming season, his sixth in blue, and how he hopes to contribute.
But with the team having drafted Malik Nabers, whom many believe will take some of the pass targets that might have gone to Slayton in the past, and with youngsters Wan’Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt on the team, there may have been some concern on Slayton’s part regarding his role.
“I want the chance to show that I’m amongst the best in the game. But the reality of being a receiver is if you don’t get the opportunities to do so, you’re not gonna have the production,” he said. The former Auburn receiver is entering the final year of a two-year contract extension he signed before the 2023 season and was reportedly looking for an extension. The Giants didn’t give him the extension, but they did add some performance incentives to his contract.
“Obviously, you’re trying to maximize your dollars. But at the same time, I kind of wanted to make sure it was known that if being here and me being a part of the offense — and being a big part of the offense — is not the thing here, then that’s OK,” he said.
