Giants WR Darius Slayton Wants Extension, Not At OTAs

Slayton is entering the final year of his contract and is slated to make $6.4 million in total compensation this season. 

He’s been the leading receiver for New York in four of his five seasons with the team. 

Slayton, 27, was a fifth-round pick by the Giants out of Auburn back in 2019. He signed a four-year, $2,753,988 rookie contract with the Giants that included a $233,988 signing bonus and $233,988 guaranteed.

The Giants and Slayton agreed to a restructured deal that reduced his salary from $2.54 million to the league minimum of $965,000. He was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent in 2023 when he returned on a two-year, $12 million deal. 

In 2023, Slayton appeared in all 17 games for the Giants and caught 50 passes on 79 targets for 770 yards and four touchdowns.
