Eagles release Darius Slay

[YoloinOhio]

Says he wants to play one more year 

 

 

[Goin Breakdown]

I don't ever do this but yeah get er done. 

[Magox]

He was still somewhat effective this past year and he wouldn't cost much.  He could be an effective stop gap solution.

 

I think he could be had for around $7M

[Don Otreply]

Vet minimum…

[billsbackto81]

A little leary about bringing in a guy at the end of his career that just won a ring.

 

Looking for one more payday and you have no idea where his motivation is.

 

Jmo...

D FENCE clap clap clap D FENCE clap clap clap (Repeat)

[KentuckyBillsFan]

He'll be 35 years old when the playoffs start. No.

Jmo...

Interesting perspective!! That hadn’t crossed my mind but now give me pause

[GETTOTHE50]

Those career best stats are interesting 

[Warriorspikes51]

Would 

 

sign him to start opposite Benford.  Let Rasul walk 
 

sign another depth veteran CB,  Ingram and a draft pick 

 

a top tier player who beat KC head to head in the SB deserves a long look at the very least

I imagine he goes back to Detroit or stays in NFC....but honestly this would be a pretty awesome addition. 

 

One thing is certain: we need elite players that make a difference in playoffs

Slay is that. Clearly.

Not for this guy, he's always been a dawg and a real competitor.  To believe this would be to believe that this will be the year to where he finally decides to half ass it and not only that, but he would most likely be half assing it at half the price he's been playing for the last few years.  Highly unlikely

[Warriorspikes51]

Can he be signed now, when UFA starts or post June 1? 

This is the type of move where we could add a few void years to lower the cap hit

Since he was released, I think we can sign him now.

I agree with above. Opposite Benford - D Slay is better that Rasul Douglas. Keep grooming Ingram and we have a pretty good CB room. I'm all for this and it allows us to still focus on Garret/Crosby. Then just go get Holand at safety and boom - our D is transformed.

[Ray Finkel]

Does Big Play Slay have anymore big plays left?

Holland - Rapp/Bishop
 

Benford - Slay  

Suddenly the secondary is much more solid.  Although I expect Holland lands elsewhere.

Yep, then add a fierce pass rusher or 2.

Holland's injury history makes me nervous. I'd pass on him.
