  "account": "The Indianapolis Colts have signed former New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton. The Colts are looking to fill the void left by the injury to Alec Pierce, the team's starting wide receiver. Slayton, who was released by the Giants at the end of training camp, is 29 years old and has not been a deep threat like Pierce. However, he is expected to stretch the field more effectively. Over his career, Slayton has averaged 15.0 yards per catch, caught 37 passes for 538 yards and a touchdown for the Giants last season.",
