Darius Slayton: I didn't pay much attention to rumors I was on roster bubble
Prior to last Sunday's cutdown day, there were rumors about the roster security of a number of players around the league and Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was on that list.
Darius Slayton, a veteran wide receiver for the Giants, was rumored to be on the roster bubble prior to the cutdown day last Sunday. However, it emerged that these rumors were unfounded, as Slayton remained with the team after the cut to 53 players. He had no indication that the team was planning to make any moves involving him at this time.
When asked about the speculation on Tuesday, Slayton responded nonchalantly, stating that it was not the first time and likely wouldn't be the last. He emphasized that he doesn't pay much attention to such rumors and focuses on what he can control by taking each day as it comes. Slayton, entering his eighth season with the Giants, had been the team's top receiving target for much of that period.
Currently, Malik Nabers has taken his place, and the team hopes that Slayton, alongside Odell Beckham Jr., can step into more supporting roles within the offense.
