Darius Slayton doesn’t have a taste for the business side of the NFL after going through free agency for the first time.
“It would have been kind of crazy to leave after somewhat building all these bricks,” Slayton said Monday, after“I definitely wanted to stick around and be at the top and take in the view myself.”
He led the team in receiving yards in three of those four seasons, and keeping his connection with Daniel Jones intact became a priority for both negotiating sides once Jones signed his four-year, $160 million contract. Slayton, 26, said “multiple teams were interested,” but the Giants offered “pretty early” and “we were in negotiations for a while.”
“This was a pretty weird free-agency year: Teams weren’t just throwing around money kind of like in other years,” Slayton said. “I felt like this was the best place for me to go. Obviously, I’m comfortable here. I enjoy the people here. It was easy to come back.”Only eight months ago, Slayton was forced to take a pay cut from $2.54 million to the league minimum of $965,000 to avoid getting released before the season.
