According to Jordan Raanan, Giants WR Darius Slayton is not at voluntary OTAs as he seeks a contract extension.
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.

GMEN WR Darius Slayton has been a ‘bright spot’ for the “HORROR SHOW” called the GMEN Offense over the last 5 years.
Nonetheless, I think GMEN WR Darius Slayton’s contract holdout will lead to him being traded before the 2024 season starts.
Especially, if the GMEN pick a WR1 at (#6) in the 2024 NFL DRAFT.
2024 GMEN WR CREW:
WR1(X) – Rome Odunze, Malik Nabers or Marvin Harrison Jr.
WR2 (Y) – Wan’dale Robinson
WR3 (Z) – Jalin Hyatt
WR4 (X) – Isaiah Hodgins
WR5 (Y) – Isaiah McKenzie
WR6 (Z) – Bryce Ford-Wheaton
SORRY!!!!!
Darius Slayton it looks like you are the ‘odd-man out’.
