Darius Slay has delivered an impressive NFL career across stops with the Detroit Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles, helping lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl title this season. Now, Slay will reportedly be looking for a new team to finish his career.
According to ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Eagles are going to release the 6-time Pro Bowler this offseason. Slay’s release is expected to be designated as a post-June 1 release, a move that would save the Eagles over $4 million in cap space.

After 3 straight Pro Bowls (including a first-team All-Pro honor in 2017), the Lions traded Slay to the Eagles in March 2020.

While Slay’s career has been fantastic, the move makes sense for Philadelphia. The Eagles beefed up their secondary in last year’s draft, taking both Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean with both producing key performances as rookies.
