Darius Slay made it plain and clear that he was ready for a change. After the Detroit Lions traded him to the Philadelphia Eagles, Slay left some harsh comments for Lions head coach Matt Patricia, saying he had lost all respect for the man and couldn’t see playing for him anymore.
But now that Slay’s new contract with the Eagles is out, it’s clear just how much he wanted out of Detroit.
The headline-catching detail of the contract is that Slay has the highest per-season average among all cornerbacks at $16.
