The New York Giants have released wide receiver Darius Slayton, the team's longest-tenured player. The 29-year-old, who was a fifth-round pick in 2019, had been relegated to second- and third-string duties during training camp following core muscle surgery. Slayton was pushed down the depth chart by newer acquisitions including Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, Odell Beckham Jr., and Braxton Berrios. The move comes roughly a week before the season opener. During his time with the Giants, Slayton appeared in 108 regular season and playoff games, recording 301 catches for 4,527 yards and 92 touchdowns.

The New York Giants have signed wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., marking his return to the team that drafted him 12th overall in 2014. The 33-year-old spent his first five seasons with the Giants before being traded to Cleveland in 2019. The Giants also added receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and return specialist Braxton Berrios. The moves follow an Achilles injury to Gunner Olszewski and uncertainty surrounding Malik Nabers, who is recovering from a torn ACL with no guarantee of Week 1 availability. Beckham did not play in the NFL last season due to a six-game suspension for failing a performance-enhancing drug test. Smith-Schuster, 29, recorded 33 catches for 345 yards with Kansas City last season. The signings continue general manager Joe Schoen's receiver additions since free agency opened.
