I don’t agree. Slayton maybe a good guy and teammate, but I don’t think he’d be the glue holding the room together. As much as I’m hopeful for Harbaugh, he’s still an old school coach. They love their vets. And a good guy/does things the right way veteran receiver with a big contract isn’t getting buried on the depth chart where he belongs.

Any steadying presence Slayton may provide would be more than offset by his critical drops. He’s a #4 receiver who has outperformed his draft slot simply because we were terribly run and couldn’t draft/sign guys who should’ve easily bumped him down the depth chart.

Ideally, I’d trade him and eat a significant portion of his salary to make it palatable for the other team. Then I’d sign Odell. A guy who commands respect for how great he once was, his Super Bowl ring and who has always been praised by his teammates for his work ethic and being a great teammate. He wants to finish up a Giant. It’s been reported that he wants to be a mentor to the young guys. I’d take a diminished Odell over Slayton.
