The Steelers committed $10 million to CB Darius Slay, but that is no promise of the quality of his play. At 34 years old, he is much closer to the end of his career than the beginning. While we haven’t seen much yet, Mark Kaboly suggests his performance this offseason bears watching.
Of course, there isn’t much the Steelers can do if he doesn’t look like the Darius Slay of old. What exactly would they do if he struggled: start Cory Trice Jr. instead? If it came down to that, they would likely be in a pretty bad spot.
