OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay was, as he put it, almost a different bird this offseason.
On his "Big Play Slay" podcast, Slay revealed that he nearly joined the Baltimore Ravens before re-signing with the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I was almost -- this close -- a Baltimore Raven. This close," said Slay, holding up two fingers close together. "But I wanted to be an Eagle. I stayed an Eagle because I know we were going to figure something out."
It looked like Slay was parting ways with the Eagles last month.
