Darius Slay Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay will remain with the team for a few more seasons, agreeing to a two-year, $42 million extension ($23 million guaranteed). There were talks the veteran would be on the way out of Philly. However, he is now committed to the franchise for the next three seasons. Slay finished the 2022-23 campaign with 55 total tackles and three interceptions, contributing to a potent Eagles defense. With James Bradberry also staying put, the Eagles defense should remain a top fantasy option in 2023-24.

The Philadelphia Eagles never officially released cornerback Darius Slay on Wednesday, and now one source said that the Pro Bowl cornerback is "expected to stay with the Eagles. It's not final, but that's the way it is looking right now." The two sides are likely working on a new deal that will also help the Eagles shed some more salary cap space for this year. Philly also brought back corner James Bradberry on Tuesday, and now it looks like they'll be keeping both of their star cornerbacks, which is a big win for their secondary. The 32-year-old Slay has been a Pro Bowler in five of the last six seasons, including the last two years with the Eagles. In 17 regular season starts in 2022, he had 55 tackles (40 solo), three interceptions and 14 passes defensed.

The Philadelphia Eagles are planning to release cornerback Darius Slay, according to sources. The release comes after the Eagles tried to restructure his contract for the upcoming season. The 32-year-old five-time Pro Bowler will attract heavy attention on the open market as the top cornerback available now. He's made the Pro Bowl in five out of the last six seasons with both the Eagles and Detroit Lions, and he was also a first-team All-Pro back in 2017 with Detroit. In his three seasons with the Eagles, Slay recorded 133 solo tackles, seven tackles for loss, seven interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 29 passes defensed and two fumble recoveries returned for touchdowns. The Eagles re-signed cornerback James Bradberry to a big deal on Tuesday.
