Could the Steelers unload Darius Slay before the trade deadline?
The NFL trade deadline is coming up, and one beat reporter floated Darius Slay as a name that the Steelers could try to move. A free agent signing this offseason at $10 million, he hasn’t played up to expectations. Problem is, they have already paid him the vast majority of his salary. Nearly 90 percent of it took the shape of a signing bonus, so the Steelers don’t have much to gain.
While Darius Slay as a brand might still have some cachet, his performance with the Steelers has not elicited enthusiasm.
