New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt denies he requested a trade this summer, calling the report a “false” hit job.

Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt on Friday denied he requested a trade this summer. His comments came in the wake of an ESPN report noting this, regarding Darius Slayton getting more practice (and now game) action with the starters than Hyatt: There was a moment late in the summer when it appeared this might go sideways.

Receiver Jalin Hyatt wants to be traded by the Giants. Unless he doesn’t. In the aftermath of an ESPN.com report that Hyatt believes the Giants should use him or trade him, Hyatt has denied any such desire.
