Darius Slayton’s Giants Exit | NFL News

0:00It's September 7th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. So, Darius Lane's run with the New York Giants has officially come to an end. They let him go on Monday just about a week before their season opener against the Cowboys. He was a fifth-round pick back in 2019 and actually had a pretty solid rookie year, putting up over 700 yards and 8. Touchdowns. He was a consistent contributor for them over seven seasons, racking up over 4,000 yards and 22 touchdowns in 106. Games. Even though he seemed like he might make the roster after the initial cuts, the team decided to go in a different direction. The Giants are clearly building up their wider Cevercore. They've got some new faces like Malik Neighbors and Malachi Fields, plus veterans like Odell Beckham Jr and Darnell Mooney. They're also keeping some guys like Braxton Barrios and Jalen Hyatt on the practice squad, so they could still be in the lead. It's always tough when a player who's been with a team for a while moves on.

It'll be interesting to see where he lands and how he performs in a new environment after spending his entire career with the Giants.
