Darius Slayton is "confident" there will be a resolution to his contract situation as he continues to stay away from the New York Giants' voluntary offseason workouts.

It was his first time speaking since a report that he was not planning on attending team activities this spring as he looks for a contract extension from the Giants.

Slayton signed a two-year, $12.2 million contract prior to last season. He's due $6.2 million in the final year of his deal this season, some of which has already been paid.

The receiver is optimistic something can get done this spring.

"Right now, my agent [Michael Perrett] and [general manager] Joe [Schoen], they're in negotiations. They're talking," Slayton said. "Hopefully we'll come to a resolution here soon."
