Darius Slayton has made the Giants‘ initial 53-man roster.
But don’t let that fool you.
The Giants are likely retaining the wide receiver, who they drafted in 2019’s fifth round, in order to find a trade partner. With calls reportedly being made, general manager Joe Schoen still needs to see if he can get anything back. Dumping Slayton without anything in return would be a missed opportunity.
Slayton’s Giants future is certainly in doubt. But he’s smart enough to realize it, and apparently relaxed enough to make a wisecrack.
