San Francisco 49ers consider signing recently released wide receiver Darius Slayton

The New York Giants released veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton on Monday. Slayton, a seven-year veteran, finished his career with the Giants recording 296 catches for 4,435 yards and 22 touchdowns. The San Francisco 49ers have internal uncertainty regarding the health of Mike Evans and the impact of players such as Deebo Samuel and Demarcus Robinson. While the team is currently banking on Christian Kirk to fill a primary role, he has struggled with consistency and availability. The 49ers possess $45.8 million in available salary cap space to facilitate a potential roster move. Team officials may evaluate Slayton as a depth option before the team returns from its Week 1 trip to Australia.
