The Giants offense has the potential to undergo significant changes in 2024 compared to 2023. The most noticeable change occurred when star running back Saquon Barkley moved to division rival Philadelphia. Other departures included backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor and backup running back Matt Breida, and there could be more players leaving the team.

Another potential departure could be veteran tight end Darren Waller. Waller, who has been dealing with injuries for the past three years, is contemplating retirement. The team was expecting an update by the draft, but no decision was made. The latest report suggests that Waller will inform the team of his plans before the Giants break for the summer.

The uncertainty also extends to veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton. Slayton is entering the final year of his contract and has been in negotiations with the team for an extension. His absence from offseason workouts could impact his future with the Giants.

Slayton, drafted in 2019, has shown promise but has not been able to consistently produce top-tier numbers. Additionally, the Giants drafted LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers, hinting at a potential youth movement at the receiver position.

These factors, combined with Slayton’s standoff strategy and lack of top-end production, may lead to his departure from the Giants. Several teams could benefit from his skills as a strong WR2, and trading him could provide cap savings for the Giants.

Whether Slayton stays or goes will depend on various factors, including his performance on the field and the team’s long-term strategy. His future in New York remains uncertain as the offseason progresses.
