4 NY Giants veterans who could be in danger of losing their jobs to a rookie

1. Malik Nabers replacing Darius Slayton as WR1

The storyline of this offseason for the New York Giants is first-round pick Malik Nabers, who was selected by the team at No. 6 in this year's NFL Draft. The LSU wide receiver is the first star WR to join the Giants since Odell Beckham Jr. was taken at No. 12 in the 2014 NFL Draft. The former first-round pick also played collegiately at LSU and immediately impacted the Giants' offense.

The Giants are hoping for a similar performance from Nabers to that of OBJ during his tenure in New York. Beckham was the last Giants receiver to have 1,000 yards or more in a single season, back in 2018. The player who has come closest to that mark and has led the Giants in receiving yards the four of the last five seasons is veteran wideout Darius Slayton, but his WR1 job may be in jeopardy now with Nabers in town.

Slayton had been away from the team for its offseason program, but he just rejoined the squad over at OTAs. Slayton didn't land an extension or any additional guaranteed money, but he has more dough on the table via incentives. Having him around will be big for the offense, but we're excited to see what he can do to help Nabers as well. Slayton will make a difference on offense, but Nabers will no doubt be the go-to WR option for this team in '24 and beyond.
