Giants' Darius Slayton: New contract, new number, same positive attitude
Briefly

Darius Slayton expressed his excitement for the upcoming NFL season with the New York Giants after signing a three-year, $36 million contract. He noted the revitalized energy in the team, particularly from the new quarterbacks, including Russell Wilson. Although initially hesitant, Slayton's trust in his team was rewarded, resulting in improved morale. He even changed his jersey number to 18 as part of a fresh start after a lackluster history, eager to contribute to a more dynamic offense this season, especially with an emphasis on deep passes.
After being part of just one winning season, I feel inspired by the energy and talent that Russell Wilson has brought to our team.
Having our young guys play well has added new energy to the locker room, and it's a thrill to be around such talent and youth.
Switching to jersey number 18 was simply because I wanted to be under 20, not due to any particular attachment. It's all fresh starts.
With the signing of Wilson and Jameis Winston, I have renewed faith in our quarterback room and the potential for success this season.
