The Philadelphia Eagles have informed five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay that he will be released Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.
Slay posted a goodbye on Twitter: “Nothing but love Philly!! Lets see where we heading next.”
The person confirmed the move to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team hasn’t announced it.
The move opens up $17.5 million of salary cap space and pushes about $13 million of Slay's cap hit to 2024 for a post-June 1 release. The Eagles agreed with cornerback James Bradberry on a $38 million, three-year contract on Tuesday.
