Darius Slay is certainly signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers after being designated as a post-June 1 lower by the Philadelphia Eagles, in line with a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
His one-year contract is claimed to be price $10 million. Absolutely assured.
Slay to the Steelers was first reported earlier this week however there was some pushback on that improvement being a executed deal. Now we all know he’s actually leaving the group he spent the final 5 seasons with.
Neither the Eagles nor Slay appeared to shut the door on a possible return to Philly when information of the post-June 1 lower was first reported. However the feeling right here is that it was at all times within the Eagles’ finest curiosity to maneuver on.
Slay had a superb season in 2024 however betting on him to play effectively once more in his age 35 season doesn’t look like the very best wager to make. Particularly when the Eagles can transfer ahead with their youthful cornerbacks and provides Kelee Ringo a primary alternative to start out in 2025.
Slay will at all times be appreciated in Philly for his contributions to the Eagles’ Tremendous Bowl LIX success.
In Pittsburgh, Slay is notably reunited along with his former defensive coordinator on the Detroit Lions (Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin) and a former high-ranking Eagles govt (Steelers assistant basic supervisor Andy Weidl).
