Darius Slay will seemingly remain with the Eagles after all

On Wednesday afternoon, Eagles CB Darius Slay tweeted that he was moving on from Philly, while all the major national sports news organizations reported that he was going to be released, something that PhillyVoice had also confirmed from league sources. When the start of the new league year rolled around at 4:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, no official announcement of Slay's release came from the team, leaving open the slim possibility that he could remain on the roster. Slay's representation and the Eagles continued to negotiate through the evening, and multiple news outlets are reporting that the two sides have found common ground on a re-worked deal.

Eagles to release CB Darius Slay

Slay is now 32 years old, and 2023 was the final year of his contract. Slay was due a base salary of $17 million in 2023. By releasing him, the Eagles will not have to pay that. However, because the Eagles have already restructured Slay's contract and kicked the can down the road once before, they have a dead money cap hit of $22,409,000, which will be spread over two seasons.

Report: Eagles LB Kyzir White to sign with the Cardinals

White rarely made major, easily identifiable errors resulting in big plays for the offense, and he also did not make any big plays in terms of takeaways, for the defense. He was a solid linebacker on a reasonable one-year deal in his one season in Philly.
