Eagles release CB Darius Slay

[5Stars]

Lol lol lol lol

That was hilarious, huh? lol lol lol lol smdh!

and yet we will likely keep trotting out Hooker and Wilson. Neither of whom are worth their contracts. But hey, we like our guys.

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 true. Personally I’d just resign Lewis

The right take is that this is proof that the Eagles make moves for now and worry about later, later.

And it's paying off for them.

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.

This draft is loaded with fast DBs. There must of been 10 that ran in 4.38 range.

Despite his age (34), Slay can still offer a contender quality depth on the cheap.

Great situation for PHI and not a totally terrible situation for Slay

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.

I think releasing him negates any comp pick if he continues his career elsewhere.

Yes it does. I forgot about that. Thanks.

 

[Mr_437]

Smart move, drafted 2 CBs last year, cut that salary.

 

[Pola_pe_a]

I could see them bringing him back. I think DeJean stays at the nickel so they need a starter opposite Mitchell. If they aren’t sold on Ringo they could bring back Slay on a one year deal. He’s said he only wants to play one more year.

Pretty sure the Eagles would not be eligible for a comp pick for Slay. This cut was long foreseen and even Slay knew it was coming. He’s not a free agent at the end of a contract, so no comp pick.

There we go…I thought that was the case

 

[Risen Star]

This is why you preserve your pie.

You won't see us cutting any cornerbacks.

Be grateful.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

He only wants to play 1 more year for DETROIT or Philly.

I bet he'll resign with Philly

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

If the Eagles release Carries Slay, a good and steady sort (to save a measly $4.3 mil!)if imagine how young and stacked they must be overall.

 

[Carson]

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

You’re wasting your time with that one.

Look at his post history. Everything is how broke they are lol

Live at Jerry World. This may become an olympic event.

Ever since Paris decided to make Break Dancing an Olympic event, that phrase went in the toilet.

This is what I learned. It looked like he was washed up 2 years ago, but came back at the age of 34 with one of the strongest seasons this year. Plans on retiring after this season. More than likely Philadelphia wants to keep the young CB they got from Indianapolis after he was suspended for gambling for 1 year. Isaiah Rogers

Yup
This place is a beat down
Just as much as Jerry and Stephen are honestly

Has he said anything about Detroit? Because he blasted them when he left.
