In a surprise mid-week splash, the Buffalo Bills have claimed cornerback Darius Slay Jr. off waivers, and he will immediately join the active roster. Slay, who signed a one-year, $10m contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers in March, requested his release this week to seek a new playing opportunity this season.
