Darius Slay Rumors: Eagles Want to Keep CB Despite Buzz About Possible Release
Darius Slay was a key part of the secondary that helped the Philadelphia Eagles reach the Super Bowl this past season, and the front office reportedly is having a difficult time with the idea of moving on from him this offseason.
While ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Philadelphia plans on releasing him, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports noted members of the front office "still wish they could keep him."
Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports provided additional context:
Ralph Vacchiano @RalphVacchianoThe Eagles did not cut CB Darius Slay today, as they were expected to do. They still can't keep him with the $26.1M cap number he has this year, and he wants an extension, not a pay cut, per sources.
