Yahoo Sports NFL on Darius Slayton

Giants cut Slayton despite $9.75M guaranteed; no trade market found for WR.

Darius Slayton was cut by the New York Giants ahead of Week 1. Despite signing a three-year, $36 million contract last year with $9.75 million guaranteed, the Giants cut him for only $2.5 million in cap savings. The move suggests the Giants attempted to trade Slayton before cutting him but found no market for his contract, indicating significant decline in his value and standing with the team.
