Rogers: 'Big Pay' Slay? New deal for cornerback could be worthwhile investment for Lions

Allen Park — It appears Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay is looking to reset the market with his upcoming contract, and as long as long as the length and structure of the deal makes sense, there's good reason for the team to consider making him the NFL's highest-paid player at the position.

Slay's contract has been a topic of conversation since last offseason, when he abstained from participating in the voluntary portions of the team's offseason program, as well as mandatory minicamp, in search of a new deal.
