New York Giants WR Darius Slayton agreed to terms on a new three-year contract with the Giants Monday, March 10, worth $36 million.
Huddle Up: Slayton posted 573 yards and two touchdowns last season and probably will be a top-three receiver for the Giants next season. He can be a late round option in fantasy drafts next season but probably will not be a starting option most weeks.

New York Giants impending free-agent WR Darius Slayton could receive interest from the Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers if he hits the free-agent market, in the opinion of New York Daily News' Pat Leonard.
Huddle Up: Multiple teams will be looking to add a receiver this offseason, so Slayton should have several options to consider during free agency. He likely will be a top-three receiver for whoever he signs with and could be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

New York Giants impending free-agent WR Darius Slayton is expected to have no shortage of suitors in free agency, according to comments he made recently on the Talkin' Ball Podcast with Pat Leonard.
"When you look at that, my ability to stretch the field becomes more valuable because that leads to shorter drives, one-play touchdowns. You need chunk plays to score in this league. We know we have a lot of interest out there. And when free agency opens up, we'll have a lot of different conversations to have with a lot of different people," Slayton told Leonard.
Huddle Up: Usually player comments regarding their expectations in free agency can be ignored, but the free-agent wide receiver market is not a great one with Tee Higgins getting the franchise tag and Chris Godwin expected to re-sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Slayton never eclipsed 770 receiving yards in New York, but uneven quarterback play throughout his time with the Giants likely played a huge role in that. Slayton may not get a huge deal on the open market, but he figures to get scooped up quickly as a potential second receiver or a solid field-stretching third wideout.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens is not expected to be available via trade, according to sources, and the organization views any additions at the position as complementary to him. It is believed the Steelers will not add any wide receiver salaries without settling the quarterback position first, but addressing the position will be a top priority. Pittsburgh could pursue Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton via trade if contract talks with Denver break down, sources said. Last year, the Steelers showed interest in Jacksonville Jaguars WR Christian Kirk and WR Darius Slayton (Giants) at the trade deadline, and both could be in play again provided Kirk is released, in the opinion of PennLive's Nick Farabaugh.

New York Giants impending free-agent WR Darius Slayton could be a target for the Cleveland Browns if he hits the free-agent market, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Daniel Oyefusi.
Huddle Up: Slayton is coming off a productive 2024 season and should receive interest from multiple teams if he becomes a free agent. He likely will receive a good role no matter where he plays next season and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
