How is trading for a guy who normally wouldn't come here a benefit? If he doesn't want to be here forcing them to through a trade is not a recipe for success. 

He comes here because he has a  new contract and likely a new start. Look at Theilen, he was tailing off and now he is revitalized in a new place. How many guys get traded who are doing great and perfectly content  where they are? Maybe DJ when we traded him but he went there with a chip on his shoulder to prove we shouldn't have traded him.  So they usually have good motivation to excel one way or the other. Sometimes positive sometimes to prove someone wrong. But we get a motivated guy usually.

Really comes down to the contract numbers. That said, I've had Slayton as the more realistic FA receiver we could aim for. He would bring speed which we're desperately lacking, he's been durable, and everything I heard about him says he's a great culture fit and mentor. Definitely would cover having that veteran presence around once Thielen retires.

Giants WR Darius Slayton expects “a lot of interest” in free agency
New York Daily News’ Pat Leonard named the Chargers, Panthers, and Steelers as potential suitors for the veteran wideout. Slayton, 28, expects to garner attention from teams that need to add speed to their roster. He led the Giants in receiving in four of his six seasons in New York, with 21 career touchdowns. In the Giants’ Week 5 win over Seattle this past season, with rookie sensation Malik Nabers sidelined due to a concussion, Slayton had eight catches and 122 receiving yards. Slayton said his goal is to land with a winner, “somewhere where they’re striving to be competitive and that the goal is to win.”

Sportrac's projection is even worse on a per year basis.

This is for a guy who basically put up Legette level numbers last year and half the fanbase is ready to write him off as a bust. LOL

He can fug right off somewhere else for that kind of money.

I dont know how much he was impacted by poor QB play, but it always seemed like the Giants were trying to push him out the door/keep him on the bench. Hes probably a WR 3 or 4 at his best, even on this roster. I'd rather draft a WR or take a chance on Elijah Moore.

Malik had over 1200 yards. You could argue he took targets away from Slayton. But if a rookie is taking your burn, then you're not worth a $10M+ a year contract.

To me this is why Tyler Warren makes much more sense as a George Kittle esque addition. There's just not a lot of quality in the FA class or the draft IMHO on a game changing WR 

I really liked taylor (LSU) at the combine.  I think he will be special.  And I think, if you had a meter that showed how much you improve with each player, a stud TE might move the needle more than a deep threat WR--just speculating

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
