Overview

  • Slayton committed to New York with a three-year, $36 million extension that includes $22 million guaranteed.
  • Head coach Brian Daboll credits him with setting practice standards and emerging as the offense’s longest-tenured veteran.
  • Slayton says he has made a deliberate effort to come out of his shell and share his experience with younger receivers.
  • He needs just 44 yards in Week 1 to overtake Lionel Manuel and is projected to climb into the top nine on the Giants’ career receiving list this season.
  • Prioritizing Super Bowl rings over personal milestones, Slayton is also helping to integrate veteran quarterback Russell Wilson.
