Receiver Darius Slayton came to the New York Giants in 2019, a fifth-round draft pick who had maybe a 60-40 chance of making the 53-man roster. At the start of the Joe Schoen-Brian Daboll era, the former Auburn wideout was initially buried on the depth chart before Daboll, in his first season as head coach, realized that he had made an error in judgment in benching Slayton. Then there was Schoen, the team’s general manager, giving Slayton the ultimatum that no player wants to hear: take a pay cut or be cut. Slayton played ball, and he’s still standing, the longest-tenured member of the Giants’ offense and one of two remaining members from that 2019 draft class (defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence II being the other).
