New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was excused from practice on Tuesday. As it turned out, that was because he and his agent were mulling a pay cut demand from general manager Joe Schoen.
It was a business decision brought on by the mishandling of the team’s salary cap courtesy of Dave Gettleman, but one that had to be made. Slayton had to take a cut or be cut. He chose the former.
