Slayton dismisses roster bubble rumors

Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton remained unfazed by rumors suggesting he was on the roster bubble before the team's cut to 53 players.

Despite speculation about his roster security prior to last Sunday's cutdown day, Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton remained with the team and is not expected to be moved at this point. When asked about the rumors, Slayton stated, 'Nothing really. It's not the first time, probably won't be the last time. But I really don't pay it too much of mind, honestly. I just take it day by day.'

Heading into his eighth season with the Giants, Slayton was the team's top receiving target for much of that time. With Malik Nabers now occupying the top receiver slot, the team hopes he'll be healthy enough to ensure Slayton, Odell Beckham Jr., and other wideouts play complementary roles in the offense. afsport.lat
