Giants Secure WR Slayton Extension, Bolster Offense for 2025

The New York Giants are strategically building their team for the 2025 NFL season with key investments in both offense and defense. On offense, the Giants secured wide receiver Darius Slayton with a three-year, $36 million extension, banking on his ability as an underrated deep threat, especially with the arrival of quarterback Russell Wilson known for his deep passing skills. Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who set franchise records in his first year, is expected to improve further under Wilson's accurate deep passing, addressing limitations caused by the previous quarterback situation. Slot receiver Wan'Dale Robinson could also see a significant boost in performance as Wilson's playstyle allows more opportunities beyond short checkdowns. On defense, rookie Abdul Carter, the team's third overall pick, is emerging as a foundational player with his hard-hitting style and versatility, potentially stabilizing a defense that lacked consistency. Additionally, the Giants are looking to add depth in the secondary by targeting undrafted free agent cornerback O'Donnell Fortune, whose strong coverage grades and experience could enhance their pass defense.
