if he would cut 53 players with the Giants,

but the Giants took other steps to reach the limit of the roster.

However, Slayton's place in the team is not very secure.

He is listed as the only third-string wide receiver on the team's depth charts,

[{"selector":"#anim-bd7d865c-4290-4cda-aa31-660ba8b45089 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.059570197570206%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] Image Credit: Google.com

with David Sills V and Richie James joining Sterling Shepard in the 2nd.

He's also set to make $2.54 million this season

and the Giants could part ways to clear the cap space.

It is noteworthy that Slayton was exempted from practice.

He was released last week along with legendary linebacker Blake Martinez.
