Darius Slayton's free-agent market is moving quickly. Three teams have already reached out for preliminary discussions just hours after the Giants released the veteran wide receiver.
Josina Anderson (@JosinaAnderson): NEW: I'm told three teams have already reached out for preliminary discussions on WR Darius Slayton, per league source. Separate from those conversations, I would also monitor the #Colts as a potential early consideration, given Slayton's relationship with QB Daniel Jones.

Josina Anderson reported the interest Monday evening, citing a league source. The three teams themselves were not identified, but she flagged the Colts as a potential early consideration — Slayton and quarterback Daniel Jones were longtime Giants teammates.
On the desk's 0-100 rumor heat index, this one sits around 45 — heating up with real momentum behind it, though no deal is close and the suitors remain unnamed. Slayton, released Monday with a $13 million salary in the second year of his deal, should have options as a proven veteran target.
