New York Giants large receiver Darius Slayton returned to the crew earlier this week after basic supervisor Joe Schoen added a further $650K in incentives to his contract.
The settlement ended a short-lived “holdout” of voluntary actions.
“One, I’m glad Darius is again. If you take a look at the totality of the message it sends to the locker room, everybody is aware of there’s a distinction between the non-public and the skilled and never mixing how you’re feeling in regards to the individual. All of us love Darius. There’s typically disagreements between households, however you discover a approach to discover frequent floor, which we did, and you progress ahead,” assistant basic supervisor Brandon Brown stated.
“We’re completely happy that he’s right here, and we’re completely happy to maintain shifting ahead with him. He’s again like he by no means left.”
Regardless of Slayton’s presence and the Giants’ very public want to have him again, Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports activities just lately listed him as a minimize/commerce candidate.
Skipping voluntary exercises in an obvious bid for a brand new contract, Slayton has quietly topped 700 receiving yards in 4 of 5 NFL seasons. However with first-round choose Malik Nabers onboard, he’s additionally expendable. Reducing or buying and selling him would save the Giants anyplace from $3.8 million to $6.4 million.
The Giants wouldn’t give Slayton added incentives solely to commerce him away –this isn’t a Dave Gettleman operation.
Slayton continues to be undervalued on a nationwide stage and his excellent function as a WR2 neglected. Even with Nabers now within the fold, becoming a member of Jalin Hyatt and Wan’Dale Robinson, Slayton very a lot has a spot on the Giants’ roster and it’s extremely unlikely they’ll look to maneuver him.
