Houston Texans evaluate potential roster addition of veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton

The New York Giants released wide receiver Darius Slayton on Monday after seven seasons with the organization. Following the move, questions persist regarding whether the Houston Texans will pursue the veteran to address depth concerns in their receiving corps. Houston previously held interest in Slayton during the 2024 season but ultimately signed Diontae Johnson instead. The team currently rosters Nico Collins and recently acquired Kayshon Boutte, though the third receiving option remains undefined. While Xavier Hutchinson, Jared Wayne, and Jaylin Noel provide internal depth, the team faces roster instability with Tank Dell sidelined for at least four games. A potential acquisition of Slayton would provide additional experience for the passing attack, though concerns regarding his drop history exist. Houston is preparing for its upcoming season opener against the Buffalo Bills.
