Slayton was a fifth-round pick by the New York Giants in 2019, and he had spent his entire career up to this point with the team. The Giants released Slayton on Sept. 7.
Slayton, 29, has appeared in 106 games and
made 78 starts. He's caught 296 passes, averaging 15.0 yards per catch with 22 touchdowns.
His most productive season came in 2023, when he totaled 770 receiving yards.
The addition of Slayton bolsters the receiver depth but also adds some needed speed to the Colts' wide receiver room without Pierce.
