Giants Sign Darius Slayton To Baffling $36 Million Deal

WR Darius Slayton signed a three-year $36 million deal to stay with the New York Giants. That total is less than they offered RB Saquon Barkley last offseason. Slayton should slot in exactly where he sat in 2024 as the WR3 behind Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson

What They're Saying

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network: "The Giantsare keeping WR Darius Slayton, as they've agreed to terms on a 3-year deal worth $36M in a deal done by Trevon Smith."

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

Slayton doesn't figure to factor much into fantasy impact for 2025 behind Nabers and Robinson (and a likely poor QB situation).

Slayton had his lowest reception total since 2021 last season, catching 39 passes for 573 yards and 2 TDs. Of course, just about any QB will be an upgrade over Daniel Jones, Tommy DeVito, and Drew Lock.
