Eagles release CB Darius Slay

Coogi...one of these days you'll beat Risen, but today is not that day.

I swear it's not there but somehow it pops up and my post gets merged, one day when I'm a mod this will all change lol

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.

Won’t work.

They have a ticking time bomb with their cap.

Check out the time stamp of Risen's post and yours.

That will explain everything.

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.

Nah, man, the Eagles are failing apart right before our eyes. Stephen told us it was coming.

 

[nate dizzle]

Stephen was right.

The first domino has fallen.

 

[gimmesix]

Could he be like Stephen Gilmore, come in to help out for a year. Especially with Diggs probably starting the season PUP. If not traded or released.

I figured Gilmore would be our next Gilmore, if he doesn't retire.

Would make sense.

He knows a winner when he sees one and will end up resigning with the Eagles for a little less money. Take notice Jerry Jones, this is how a great GM operates.

Yes it is

Sign expensive top performers

Win a SB

Release one of them

= CAP HELL

Suck on that Eagles

 

[KingCorcoran]

They must be desperate for cap $$$$

POST-6/1 RELEASE​

2025 Dead Cap: $9,456,000
2026 Dead Cap: $13,294,000
2025 Savings: $4,324,000

They currently have more available than the Cowboys…and they’re trying to find more. That’s what the concern should be.

Hey, don't antagonize the future mod!!!

 

[Coogiguy03]

academy award winner!!!

Hey, don't antagonize the future mod!!!

That could get him bhannned for 2 years!!

Won’t work.

They have a ticking time bomb with their cap.

NFC teams making roster moves prior to free agency. LA Rams, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington…see a trend?

Yep, effective roster planning along with proper talent evaluation.
Sounds like the job of a GM who knows what he's doing.

Oh well...sighs

They like Ringo from Georgia… And they might try to bring back Isaiah Rogers … for us I would much rather sign Isaiah Rogers than a 34-year-old Darius slay.

 

[MikeT22]

Slay is 34 and the Eagles added two quality rookie CBs last year.
Thats how its done.

I wouldnt try to sign him unless its really cheap and as a nickel/depth. Even then rather someone with a future

Possible they can wait until after the draft. Sign him if still available so Philly does not get a comp pick. And for less money.
