Giants Oust Slayton, 49ers Weigh Wide Receiver Upgrade

The New York Giants released veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton, opening the door for a potential 49ers signing as San Francisco looks to bolster its receiving corps with Mike Evans’ health uncertain and questions about Deebo Samuel and DeMarcus Robinson in expanded roles. Slayton, a seven-year producer with durable production and reliability, would add depth for the 49ers. With about $45.8 million in cap space, a deal could be feasible, though the team is also considering whether Christian Kirk could fill a similar role, and they’ll want to decide before their Week 1 trip to Australia.

The New York Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton, a surprising move given his three-year, $36 million deal and $9.75 million guaranteed for this year.

Slayton’s 28-Second Wish Sets Harbaugh on Giants’ Coughlin-esque Revival Path

Darius Slayton’s brief, pointed remark that the Giants need a Tom Coughlin-like coach helped frame John Harbaugh as a potential revival figure for New York. Harbaugh has cited Coughlin as a key influence, and Slayton argues a demanding, disciplined coach could unlock a Cruz-like breakthrough for a developing quarterback (Jaxson Dart) and push the Giants back toward contention.
