The New York Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton on Monday, ending his tenure with the franchise. Slayton, drafted by the Giants in 2019, had been the team's longest-tenured player.

Slayton signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Giants last season. Multiple outlets reported the move came ahead of the Giants' season opener against the Cowboys. CBS Sports noted that Slayton will play elsewhere in 2026, while Yahoo Sports reported that the release sparked speculation about possible landing spots for the veteran receiver.
