TERRIBLE

WTF is Joe doing ?

[killarich]

I guess you can merge my post

But wtf is this ?

I like Slayton but not this much wtf

[EDjohnst1981]

Seems like an overpay.

Guess we have to wait until the guarantees and structure but I feel his 800 yards a year could be replaced for far cheaper.

They hate Hyatt so much. It's downright confounding.

[killarich]

We def could've gotten a better WR with this money

I'm baffled

[Trench]

I'm not a huge Slayton guy at all (I'd rather Hyatt get his reps), but I'm not sure this is such a bad deal looking at it financially.

He has often gotten plenty of hate here, and I always thought it wasn't deserved. He is a very under appreciated player. I never understood tbe Slayton hate on here

Good signing for about what I expected him to make.

I don't hate him by stretch.

He just  doesn't move the needle.

This is his market value. He is better than Palmer who got the same bag. It isn't only our GM who sometimes undervalues our own judging by some of the reactions here.

I'm not as down on this as you guys are. I'm not saying it some steal or anything, but Slayton has been one of our more consistently productive and dependable players for a while now, and he's still in his 20s. He has been one of our more durable players too. Look at who our QB has been. Are his numbers really that terrible given the QB and O line play we have had?

We had nobody else or any significance to sign in this offseason, and sadly we don't really have anyone to sign next year either. I think there is something to be said for retaining a guy who has been as consistent for us as Slayton.

Also $12mm/yr just is not that much for a receiver anymore. The cap has gone parabolic. This isn't the 2020/2022 market anymore.

This is a head-scratcher for me. I would rather have Saquon for that money.

[Stringer Bell]

AWFUL!!

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!!

He's had 2 TDs in 3 of the last 4 seasons. He averages 40 catches. Jalen McMillan was selected with the 92nd pick and had as many TDs as a rookie as Slayton has the last 3 seasons.
