One of the stranger stories from the NFL offseason was the saga of Darius Slay and the Philadelphia Eagles. At one point, it looked like Slay was bound to be traded before eventually signing an extension with the team.
But more notably to Detroit Lions fans, shortly after re-signing with the Eagles, Slay was made co-workers again with former Lions coach Matt Patricia. Philadelphia hired Patricia to be their senior defensive assistant.
If you need any reminder how awkward of a hire that appears to have been, Slay once said he “didn’t have that much for respect for Matt P, as a person,” after the two personalities clashed in Detroit.
