When the New York Giants re-signed veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton in the offseason, there were mixed reactions. On one hand, the G-Men were already thin at wideout and needed bodies. On the other hand, they significantly overpaid for a guy who’s never been more than a pretty good WR3 in any of his six-plus seasons.
His 24 receptions, 366 yards, and a fumble through nine games in 2025 don't exactly scream three-year, $36 million contract -- the full details of the deal he signed back in March. It was a little rich back then, but it looks even worse now.
