Darius Slayton has become a free agent following his release by the New York Giants on Monday. The wide receiver expressed optimism about his future through social media, signaling he is ready for the next chapter of his career.
According to reports from Exhibit News Network, preliminary interest in Slayton has already materialized, with three NFL franchises reaching out to his representatives to discuss potential opportunities. The Indianapolis Colts have been mentioned as one possible landing spot for the receiver, particularly given his established connection with quarterback Daniel Jones.
Slayton’s tenure with the Giants spanned seven seasons after being selected in the 2019 NFL Draft as a fifth-round pick. He and Jones, who was drafted four rounds earlier that same year, spent six seasons playing together in New York. Last season, Slayton recorded 37 receptions for 538 yards and one touchdown.
