Slayton burst onto the\u00a0NFL\u00a0scene with 740 yards receiving and eight touchdowns as a rookie in 2019, and is the only receiver in Giants franchise history to lead the team in receiving yards in four out of his first five seasons,\u201d Jordan Dajani wrote. \u201cRashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Darius Slayton would be a solid wide receiving corps.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\" data-zone-count=\"5\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-placeholder\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-fcae2a4d6f254e3e80a428e28109876c\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Slayton is a strong fit for a handful of reasons, chief among them (no pun intended) being the lack of explosive plays the offense generated. That was a sacrifice Kansas City made when it traded\u00a0Tyreek Hill\u00a0to the\u00a0Miami Dolphins, and the offense has obviously been able to succeed without it. But Slayton brings a vertical element to the passing offense that it has lacked, doing his best work far from the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n<p>With Slayton stretching the field, Rice running option routes from the slot, and Worthy as a movable perimeter threat, there\u2019s reason to believe the offense would be even more potent with Slayton in the fold.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\" data-zone-count=\"5\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-placeholder\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-826c6f7c809f4661a7322510b5a1e169\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that Slayton could benefit from better quarterback play. He posted only 573 yards and two touchdowns in 2024 as he dealt with poor play under center.<\/p>\n<p>Mahomes, meanwhile, is the\u00a0best quarterback\u00a0in football, offering both strong production and a perpetual chance at a\u00a0Super Bowl. Much like running back Saquon Barkley for the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles, it\u2019s hard to see him returning if the money is similar.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-4\" data-zone-count=\"5\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-placeholder\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-2edd2d27e4e34d5182c715a6352a6a60\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It seems like Slayton\u2019s time with the\u00a0Giants\u00a0is up. If that turns out to be true, he\u2019ll have finished his six seasons in New York with 259 catches for 3,897 yards and 21 touchdowns.
