*Advanced statistics from Pro Football Reference. The belief here is that San Francisco won't find a taker before final roster cuts and will part ways during the cut to 53-even if that goes against what the team is saying publicly. The problem is that teams won't want to offer trade capital and absorb Garoppolo's contract if they believe he'll be released. The only value Garoppolo has to the 49ers right now is as a potential trade chip. "I heard he does not have a playbook, does not attend quarterback or team meetings and barely knows new quarterbacks coach Brian Griese." "When the other 89 men on the San Francisco roster are practicing outside, Garoppolo is usually inside, or on his way home," Peter King of ProFootballTalk wrote last week. And, even if San Francisco was inclined to pay heavily for quarterback depth, it doesn't sound like Garoppolo would be an asset this season. The 49ers have less than $1 million in cap space and could save roughly $25 million by releasing Garoppolo. Keeping Garoppolo and his $27 million cap hit doesn't make financial sense. San Francisco is moving forward with Trey Lance at quarterback and has Nate Sudfeld in a backup role. And if that's the case, then that's the case," 49ers CEO Jed York told Tim Kawakami of The Athletic. The San Francisco 49ers continue to insist that they're willing to carry Jimmy Garoppolo into the regular season. If New York can't find a taker on the trade market, expect Slayton to be a cap casualty before Week 1. The Giants, meanwhile, have just $4 million in cap space remaining. The Auburn product is set to carry a cap hit of $2.6 million in 2022 with only $48,497 of that in dead money. The biggest problem with keeping Slayton as a depth piece is his contract. And it sure seemed as if the Giants were featuring Slayton to drum up potential trade interest," Dunleavy wrote.ĭan Duggan of The Athletic reported back in April that the Giants were "shopping" Slayton. Slayton got the start in New York's preseason opener last week, though Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post believed that this was an effort to spark trade interest. With rookie Wan'Dale Robinson joining a receiver room that already includes Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard and 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney, Slayton's role will likely continue shrinking. He finished with only 26 receptions, 339 receiving yards and two touchdowns. After playing 87 percent of the offensive snaps the previous year, Slayton played 64 percent in 2021. Last season, however, Slayton saw a diminished role. The 2019 fifth-round pick caught 48 passes for 740 yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie and again topped 700 yards in 2020. However, he did, at one point, appear to be an offensive building block in New York.
New York Giants Wideout Darius Slayton isn't a former first-round pick like Harry.
Expect Chicago to cut ties instead of waiting out Harry's recovery.
The Bears didn't invest much when acquiring Harry, and cutting him would erase his $1.9 million base salary from the books. will have opportunities to make an impact in Chicago. With Harry out, receivers like Equanimeous St. Harry suffered a high-ankle sprain in camp, underwent surgery and is expected to miss eight weeks, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. However, Chicago won't get a look at that potential any time soon. The untapped potential that made Harry a first-round selection is still intriguing. The Bears receiving corps, outside of budding star Darnell Mooney, is underwhelming.
Earlier this offseason he was dealt to the Chicago Bears for a 2024 seventh-round draft pick.įor Chicago, taking a flier on Harry made plenty of sense. Harry's numbers would have made for a disappointing season for most first-round receivers. In three seasons, he appeared in 33 games and produced 57 catches for 598 yards and four touchdowns. However, Harry struggled to get on the field and was largely ineffective when he did get opportunities.
