 I agree, at the time I wasn't mad at not signing Barkley.... but my god if you would've told me who are we going to pay 12mm a year ... I pick Barkley every time


I rather draft a WR round 2-3 and see if that works out

Looks like they gave up on Hyatt.

Even if that's the case, both Slayton and Hyatt can be replaced in the draft.

Could signal they know what QB they're getting if they're willing to commit those dollars to Slayton (don't need to save room). And honestly, the WR market is so crazy this deal is not really outlandish for his production.

Good point. Not sure what the thinking is here.

Quote from: Stringer Bell on March 10, 2025, 07:20:23 PMAWFUL!!

Schoen is in so far over his head it's ridiculous.

Slayton adds absolutely nothing to this offense. Such an absolute waste of the kind of money that could have brought the top OC on the market (Dalman) or an accomplished edge (Landry). Instead, it's completely wasted on a #3 receiver  who had less than 40 catches and 2 TDs last year.

FIRE SCHOEN!!

I've been a supporter of his but moves like this are pushing me away. If he signs Rodgers, I'm officially done with him.

The WR market has exploded. Without a QB in place, it must be difficult signing players with limited resources. Those left standing may have to settle for each other. Sad but true.

Feel like this move will look good if they can get some consistency throwing the ball downfield. 

15 yards/reception for his career catching passes from the likes of Glennon, DeVito, Taylor and Lock with  an OL that has multiple turnstiles is actually pretty impressive. 

Haven't seen the contract details yet.

Agreed. Most of his moves have made sense. Particularly having to deal with Mara. But I gotta believe Hyatt can give you what slayton does and that money could go to an OG or S. Rodgers would be the last straw for me not just with him but with the team as a whole. At least until they clean house including that POS QB.

Guys, they must see/know something about Hyatt that we don't see.  Remember, a lot of WRs went before him in the draft.  Maybe there's a reason. Maybe his ceiling is just a "speed guy".  Wonder if they try him as a returner? 
As for Slayton, I actually like it.  He's better than given credit for (and improved QB play will illustrate that point), highly respected in the locker room and that's about what he would have got elsewhere.

What do you mean "that we don't see"? What exactly is there to "see" with Hyatt? The guy has done next to nothing in two years.

And if it's because Jones sucked and Hyatt is actually a good player and would do well with a better QB, then by that logic Slayton was actually good value at $12m per.

When he played as a rookie he showed flashes of brilliance and caught everything his hands touched. We haven't seen him on the field since.

I'm not saying this guy is Justin Jefferson but I'd certainly like to see him get a chance to grow into a solid #2. The past couple seasons have been lost by Halloween. What's the harm in playing the guy? They might lose? Seems like they're doing plenty of that without him as it is.

Makes you wonder why a guy they traded up for hasn't been able to get off the bench

The clown show roles on.

I was referring to the many voices, here and elsewhere, who have been clamoring for more playing time for Hyatt and hoped they would let Slayton go to clear the way.  I'm saying there must be a reason the Giants aren't ready to hand him that role yet.  And $12M for Slayton is about market value in 2025.  I'm OK with it.
