THE New York Giants were humiliated in Week 7, losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, 28-3, at MetLife Stadium. This dropped their record to 2-5 and firmly planted them in last place in the NFC East.
Another year, another pathetic performance for Big Blue.
While some are optimistic that the season could be salvaged and possibly end with a playoff appearance, most have written off the Giants entirely.
Matt Holder of The Bleacher Report The scouting department believes it’s time for the Giants to fully embrace the tank and do everything in their power to secure a top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. And he suggests they start this tank by trading wide receiver Darius Slayton.
It’s time for the Giants to embrace the tank and start thinking about the future. Slayton is an impending free agent and the team has some young wide receivers to lean on moving forward with Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson. So, flipping a player who likely won’t return next year for draft picks would be a smart move.
The 27-year-old could get a decent return from a contending team, as he has over 700 receiving yards in four of his first five seasons and is on pace to make it five of six with 301 yards in six games in 2024. .
Holder and his counterpart, Alex Ballentine, also think the Giants should trade edge rusher Azeez Ojulari. However, they disagreed on a final location, with Holder suggesting the Detroit Lions and Ballentine suggesting the Cincinnati Bengals.
Meanwhile, Holder is eyeing 2025 and listing Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Tershawn Wharton as a free agent target. He also lists Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker as a potential draft target, but that’s not the name (or position) Giants fans want to hear right now.
