Speaking on the St. Brown Podcast, Eagles CB Darius Slay said he wants to play “one more year.”
Slay, 34, is already under contract with the Eagles next season. While he’s not a lock to be retained by the team in 2025, his release as a pre-June 1 cut would come with a $22.7 million dead cap hit, while a post-June 1 release would net a $9.5 million dead cap hit. Across the regular season and the playoffs, Slay played 946 defensive snaps, per PFF, with 625 of those snaps coming in coverage. The veteran corner earned a PFF grade of 75.5 while allowing just 45 catches for 553 yards and four touchdowns. Even as an older vet, he still provided plenty of utility for the Super Bowl champs, who may decide it’s a better financial and football decision to keep him as he enters what appears to be the final year of his career.
