The Eagles plan to release star Darius Slay, as first reported by Jeff Howe of The Athletic, ending the star cornerback’s time in Philadelphia after three seasons.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reports that the decision comes after Slay’s representation and the Eagles tried to renegotiate the five-time Pro Bowler’s contract but were unable to do so. The 32-year-old defensive back’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, then requested permission for his client to seek a trade, as reported last Friday.
“Nothing but love Philly!! Lets see where we heading next..” Slay wrote on Twitter around the same time that reports of his impending release began to emerge.
