NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton on Monday, moving on from the organization’s longest-tenured player in a transaction roughly a week before the season opener.
Slayton was a fifth-round pick in 2019. Coming off core muscle surgery that slowed him during training camp, the 29-year-old had been relegated to second- and third-string duties during training camp.
Mired in trade rumors for the past month before NFL teams set their 53-man rosters, Slayton made the Giants but was wary of what could happen.
“I really don’t pay it too much of mind, honestly,” Slayton said. “You kind of just figure out the league the more you’re around. At the end of the day, you control what you can control and let the rest fall where it may.”
Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, Odell Beckham Jr. and Braxton Berrios pushed Slayton out of a meaningful spot. Slayton played in 108 regular season and playoff games with 301 catches for 4,527 yards and 92 touchdowns.
