Former Giants receiver Darius Slayton is at risk of being cut ahead of the roster deadline, as reports indicate he is “on the bubble” due to decreased mobility following a sports hernia surgery. Competing with Odell Beckham Jr. for a roster spot, Slayton’s extensive play in the preseason finale raises concerns, especially considering his $12.25 million salary, with $9.75 million guaranteed. Cutting him would incur significant cap charges in future years, while a trade could require the Giants to cover part of his salary. Despite these issues, Slayton remains listed as a starter in the team’s depth chart.
