Determining Darius Slay’s value: Pay him or trade him?

The Detroit Lions have a developing, fluid situation on their hands with cornerback Darius Slay coming into the last year of his current deal and wanting a pay raise. Unlike the Matthew Stafford rumors, though, it does seem true that vice president-general manager Bob Quinn is shopping the Pro-Bowl corner for the right price.

In this installment of Kick In The Crotch Weekly, we’ll look at both sides of Slay’s value, the upside and downside of keeping or trading him, and where he might end up if he were to leave.

On its face trading or letting Darius Slay go is a bad idea, especially given owner Martha Firestone-Ford’s talk about winning now and her playing meaningful games in December comments.
