Slayton enters 2026 as the likely No. 2 receiver behind Malik Nabers with Darnell Mooney in the slot. The Giants added Odell Beckham Jr., Juju Smith-Schuster, Calvin Austin, and drafted Malachi Fields this offseason; if any of these players prove they can start, it would hurt Slayton's chances of sticking around. Jalin Hyatt, a bust in his first three seasons but possessing a similar skillset to Slayton, could also push him during training camp and make the veteran expendable.
