As he sees it, the Steelers brought in veteran CB Darius Slay to do one thing: “Basically just playing ball”. The 34-year-old former Pro Bowler is their latest in a line of veteran CB2s they’ve brought in recently. Before him, they had Patrick Peterson in 2023, and then Donte Jackson last year.
Peterson is a future Hall of Famer, in all likelihood, and perhaps Slay will be, as well. He comes to Pittsburgh with six Pro Bowls in his past, though he missed it last year. Had the Eagles not advanced to the Super Bowl, he might have gone as an alternate, but he’ll take the ring, I’m sure.
