The Philadelphia Eagles are already making big off -season movements after winning the Super Bowl Lix, but they are not yet in the addition department.
Instead, the veteran Darius Slay corner half is released after five seasons with the organization.
Slay, half a corner of Pro Bowl, will be a post-June cup, which allows Eagles of $ 4.3 million against their salary ceiling to make other movements, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The list of Eagles is stacked, but GM Howie Roseman is known to make big splashes during the recent season, and create space on its cap is crucial to do it. It should not be forgotten that each class of NFL Draft also requires a good amount of ceiling space.
The Eagles have just over $ 20 million before this month, and key players like the secondary Zach Baun, the defensive winger Josh Sweat and the guardian of the offensive Mekhi Becton are ready for the free agency.

“While the ceiling becomes tighter, while all our expensive players are starting to become expensive, you have to go with young players,” said Roseman last month, by ESPN.
Thus, Slay, 34, is a victim despite his defensive prowess in the secondary. The Eagles, however, could afford to let him go, given their recruit tandem of Quinon Mitchell and Cooper Dejean played a vital role by winning the Lombardi trophy. They plan to be the best corner half of the team for years to come to their recruited business.

Slay, however, was a defensive captain for this Eagles cloakroom, playing a big role in high direction and helping the team to be defense n ° 1 in the passing match last season.
In 14 games, Slay had 13 defended passes, 49 plated, a forced escape, as well as a escaped recovery.
According to CBS Sports, Slay wants to play one more year, which generally means going to a competitor to compete for another Super Bowl ring.
A team to watch is the Strait Lions, the team kill began their career. They need corner help, and they should look for it in all sectors during the offseason, including the Libre Agency, where Slay is heading.

Slay totaled 347 plated and 104 passes defended in seven seasons with the Lions. From 2017 to 29, he made three Struits Pro bowls and was appointed First Team All-Pro in 2017 after directing the league with eight interceptions and 26 defended passes.
