Eagles release CB Darius Slay

Roseman drafted two CBs last draft that balled out as rookies. That allows them to make this move.

They will probably draft another CB early in this draft as well.
 
I see how this goes

We sign him “oh wow an aging vet we need to get younger he’s on the decline”

Another team signs him “Jerry and Son suck we could’ve gotten a CB in his prime who hasn’t let up a touchdown in 30 years smh another failed season”
 
So this shows us how Howie Roseman intends to avoid the CAP timebomb set to go off in 2029. He is going to draft replacements a year before he releases they guys they will replace. Bradberry is a free agent this year so he will be gone as well. The Eagles planned this perfectly selecting DeJean and Mitchell last year.

Exactly. This is what having the support of your owner to build out succession plans allows you to do. Whether it's at CB, DL or OL, it helps younger (and cheaper) guys to learn from vets before replacing them.
