Raiders Cut Slayton Despite His Numbers | Las Vegas Raiders News

Raiders just cut Darius Slayton — a move that baffles fans, since he outperformed nearly every current receiver on the team last season with 538 yards, despite it being his weakest year yet. While his production has dipped slightly in recent years, he still crushes the Raiders’ current depth chart, which includes Jalen Nailor’s career-high 444 yards, Jack Bech and rookie Malik Benson, and Dareke Young’s meager 4 catches for 72 yards over four seasons. Bringing back a proven veteran like Slayton seems like the obvious, no-brainer fix for a receiving corps in dire need of firepower.
