Darius Slay Reacts to Eagles Release: ‘No Hard Feelings’
After five years as a key part of the Eagles’ defense, Darius Slay is moving on—but he’s not bitter about it. The veteran cornerback was released in a cap-saving move, something he saw coming.
“It’s part of the business,” Slay said. “I’m not sad about it because I knew I gave that team everything I had.” Despite the split, he didn’t rule out a return, saying, If the Eagles do something nice, they know I’d love to be back.
Philadelphia is getting younger in the secondary, with Kelee Ringo and pending free agent Isaiah Rodgers potentially stepping up. Replacing Slay’s impact won’t be easy, but the Eagles had to make a tough call. Meanwhile, the Pro Bowler is ready to test free agency and find his next opportunity.
