Darius Slayton Has Not Reported To Voluntary Workouts

Wednesday, April 17, 4:31 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has not yet reported to voluntary offseason workouts this week, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. The 27-year-old is seeking a contract extension after posting 50 receptions for 770 yards and four touchdowns last season. He led the team in receiving yards last year, and he has done so in four of the last five campaigns. He's due to make $6.2 million in 2024. Although Slayton is far from a fantasy football superstar, he's been productive at times -- making this a situation worth monitoring. He should be a top wideout target in New York's offense once again, though they might take a wideout in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and second-year receiver Jalin Hyatt could take on a larger role.

Steven Sims Returning To Texans

Wednesday, March 20, 7:39 PM

The Houston Texans have re-signed wide receiver Steven Sims to a one-year deal on Wednesday. Sims was cut by the Texans during training camp last season but ended up joining the practice squad later in the year. He was quiet as a receiver but has been used more as a punt returner. Sims has been a dynamic returner throughout his career which is likely why the Texans decided to bring him back in 2024.
