It's no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers' secondary has been a glaring flaw in 2025. Despite being brought in this past offseason to be part of the solution, cornerback Darius Slay has been a massive part of the problem.
Slay hasn't met the expectations attached to the one-year, $10 million contract the Steelers signed him to in March, to put it mildly. Frankly, his presence has done more harm than good, and that's when he's not coming in and out of the lineup with injuries.
Turning 35 in January, Slay has shown his age. The Super Bowl LIX champion is physically struggling to withstand the NFL's pounding and has been a liability on the field when he can.
