Darius Slay

Reports surfaced Wednesday morning that the Eagles were going to release Slay with a post-June 1 designation, thus saving nearly $18 million on the salary cap.

He had three interceptions last season, his 10th in the NFL. Cox will return to a defensive tackle rotation that won't have Javon Hargrave, who is signing with the 49ers for 4 years worth as much as $84 million; and veterans Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph. It's likely that Slay, who had been selected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons and five times overall, is returning on a lower-cost contract. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl six times in consecutive seasons from 2015-20. The Eagles could have given Slay an extension, thus lowering his cap hit in 2023 while adding at least one more guaranteed year. But late Wednesday night, it was reported that the two sides were closing in on a deal.

Just hours after the Eagles decided to release Darius Slay, the five-time Pro Bowl cornerback announced that he's staying with the Eagles. By Reuben Frank.

That would have left them with $8.6 million in dead money in 2023 and $13.8 million in 2024. But when word came out that the Eagles planned to release Slay instead of trading him, it was hard to imagine the two sides reconciling. Slay’s return is the culmination of a wild 12 hours in which Slay’s tenure with the Eagles appeared over, he issued an emotional farewell on social media (“Nothing but love Philly!!

The Philadelphia Eagles have informed five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay that he will be released Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the decision ...

The 32-year-old Slay played a key role on defense for the NFC champion Eagles. The Eagles agreed with cornerback James Bradberry on a $38 million, three-year contract on Tuesday. Defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and safety C.J.

Pro Bowl CB Darius Slay wasn't released by the Eagles on Wednesday and he is now "expected" to stay with the team, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

He has made the Pro Bowl each of the past two years and had three interceptions and 14 passes defended this past season. Slay, who turned 32 in January, is entering the final year of his three-year, $50 million deal. It's not final, but that's the way it is looking right now."

Les deux partis ne se sont pas entendus sur une restructuration de contrat.

Le natif de Brunswick, dans l'État de la Georgie, a été sélectionné en deuxième ronde (36e) du repêchage de 2013 par les Lions. Slay a débuté sa carrière avec les Lions de Detroit, où il a joué sept campagnes avant de se joindre aux Eagles via une transaction en mars 2020. Le vétéran de 32 ans a disputé les trois dernières saisons avec les Eagles, les aidant notamment à participer au Super Bowl en 2023.

Philadelphia may indeed keep one of the key pieces of its secondary.

With the NFL's league year officially opening, Bo Wulf and Zach Berman exchanged emails throughout Wednesday afternoon. The transcript is below: ...

I wouldn’t advise the Eagles to get in a position where they’re committing to this tandem for the next few years because the age curve of both players is not necessarily on the Eagles’ side, although if there’s a way they can make this work in 2023, a secondary with Slay will be better than one without him. It probably came down to paying Cox or going for quantity over quality and signing a pair of lower-level players like the [Saints](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/saints/) did with Nathan Shepherd and Khalen Saunders for the combined price of Cox. [Jordan Davis](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/jordan-davis-SZLx8jHvOvHB3lCK/) and [Milton Williams](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/milton-williams-vfjfEg41Fpyn3fDS/), and they’re paying him accordingly.

[Zach Allen](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/zach-allen-oh0jmqjuVNDF9X31/) for the contract he signed (three years, $46 million), but none of the others in that range would make me envious. But as I wrote at 4:30 p.m., cutting Slay was “not an ideal outcome because they’re losing a good player and they’re taking a cap hit to do it.” So it’s a better outcome — at least for the 2023 season — to have Slay on the team because he’s a good player and the combination of him and Bradberry is proven to be [Detroit](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/lions/) for Slay in 2020 and signed him to an extension. From a midterm and long-term perspective, I’d rather allocate money to Gardner-Johnson and one of the cornerbacks than keep both corners and search for safeties. Instead, Bradberry is returning and the Eagles need to find a second cornerback. The Eagles sent a third- and fifth-round pick to On Tuesday, I squirmed a bit at the [releasing Slay with a post-June 1 designation](https://theathletic.com/4312314/2023/03/15/darius-slay-eagles-release/).

After a couple of days of legal tampering, running back Damien Harris has yet to secure a contract in free agency. But some social media activity on ...

While a retweet wouldn't prevent that from happening, it seems as though Harris at the very least is left with some stinging bitterness from the past year in New England. Harris, like most of his teammates, suffered the consequences of that coaching decision. Patricia -- a defensive coach for almost the entirety of his career -- was of course tabbed to run the Patriots' offense in 2022, an experiment by Bill Belichick which failed miserably. That was a first." Slay then commented on that tweet, saying, "Im trying to tell ya lol but hey people thought I was tripping and didn't like being [coached]!" Waller had kept that wedding with Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum a secret before McDaniels spilled the beans.

Here's how Darius Slay's release affects the Eagles' current cap standing as well as future deals, a possible Jalen Hurts extension for instance.

In other words, they could use the money on a future deal like the expected extension that In other words, they don’t have the cash they’ll save by releasing him immediately, so it won’t help with the signing of say a C.J. That means the good news is they’ll save cap space if the release becomes finalized. That means Philadelphia will save $17 million against the cap. The bad news is they won’t receive that cap space until June 1st. Less than 24 hours after [the announcement of James Bradberry’s three-year extension](https://insidetheiggles.com/2023/03/14/james-bradberry-returns-eagles-2/), Big Play Slay is, indeed, rumored to be looking for a new home though there’s been no official word of his release.

Circumstances changed, and the Pro Bowl cornerback Slay is expected to remain with the Eagles after both sides came to an agreement, NFL sources said late ...

Slay never got out of the door with the Eagles, but he was seemingly close and is now expected to return for a fourth season in Philadelphia. The Eagles already re-signed Slay’s counterpart at cornerback, James Bradberry, to a three-year contract worth $38 million with $20 million guaranteed on Wednesday. The 32-year-old Slay would have been an unexpected loss since he remained under contract and performed well last season. Slay will likely have to agree to a reworked deal that not only lowers his cap number for 2023 ($26.1 million), but may force him to take a pay cut, the source said. He wanted a contract extension, and the Eagles allowed the Pro Bowl cornerback permission to shop for a trade since last week. Earlier in the day, Slay was destined to be cut once the new league opened at 4 p.m.
