Analysts suggest Dallas Cowboys consider signing recently released receiver Darius Slayton
Summary

The New York Giants released veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton on Monday following Labor Day. Analysts are now pointing to the Dallas Cowboys as a potential landing spot for the wideout ahead of the September 13 season opener. While the Cowboys already feature a receiving corps led by CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, some suggest adding Slayton could provide strategic insight into the New York offense under new head coach John Harbaugh. Slayton holds four career seasons with at least 700 receiving yards and averages 15 yards per catch. Dallas currently has roster depth at the position with players including Ryan Flournoy, Kavontae Turpin, and Jonathan Mingo. The teams are scheduled to face each other at MetLife Stadium this Sunday night.
