As a regular defender right now I would consider him less than a JAG I would consider him a non entity but he id much more than a decent STer. He is one of our top two STers, he is a Core STs guy playing on mostly all STs units, he was 2nd in STs tackles as a rookie, he is a really good lead blocker on KR, and although he was scary with the ball in his hands as a rookie there is still potential for him to be a good returner.
I think this team is really deep and he could be one of many tough cuts but if it happens it wont be because he just a decent STer because he is really good there, it would just be a numbers crunch and some other team would be really thrilled to get him.
IMO he makes this team.
I considered Kelly Washington by far our best special teamer the past 2 years, but that didn't stop us from letting him go. Slater may be a solid STer, but I don't see him as irreplaceable by any means.
