The Eagles of Philadelphia cut one of their key veterans during their Super Bowl Lix race last season, and his wife seems to be struggling.
Darius Slay, the corner of the corner of Pro Bowl, was released by the team as a victim of CAP. The Eagles would have saved $ 4.3 million against their ceiling with this decision.
Slay has spent the last five seasons to lead a secondary of the Eagles who anchored the best pass of the NFL in 2024.

But the main reason behind this, however, was the addition of Recruits Quinon Mitchell and Cooper Dejean, who both knew large inaugural seasons of the NFL.
Thus, due to their rapid transition to the pros, the release of Slay has meaning in terms of money economy for future free agency movements.
Jennifer Slay, the wife of Darius, shared her response to this decision on social networks.

“Real tears,” posted Jennifer on X.
She also published on her Instagram story a photo of her celebration of the victory of the Super Bowl Lix with her husband and the legend “Philly”, with hearts, a broken heart and emojis with tearful eyes.
It has been said on several occasions, but the things of the game can be cruel. This is another example of a difficult decision to make.

Now Darius Slay will seek his third NFL team after spending his first seven seasons with the Lions of Detroit, where he won three of his six Pro Bowls.
In 14 games last season, Slay had 13 passes defended, 49 plated, a forced escape, as well as an 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.

As for the teams that can provide this competitor for Slay, a Lions meeting is logical since it could use secondary aid. The Pittsburgh steelers were also a suggested team because the defensive coordinator Teryl Austin spent time with Slay in Detroit before this position.
