Slaton is not enough of a cap hit to worry about. Unless there is some great player out there that the 700k or whatever the extra for Slaton makes over Chris O, cap isn't an issue for this season.
Performance? Slaton is the same age as Chris O. Chris O. has 69 total yards in two seasons. Chris O. can't even average 4 yards per carry through preseason. A guy that can't even get 100 yards in two seasons is a better player than Slaton? Some major injury problems won't make me give up on a guy that was the 6th best runner his rookie year in favor of a guy of the same age that has only 69 yards to his name in two seasons.
