The Philadelphia Eagles released Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay Wednesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Slay hinted at his release in a post on his Twitter account:
Darius Slay @bigplay24slayNothing but love Philly!! Lets see where we heading next..
ESPN's Dianna Russini (h/t ESPN's Tim McManus) reported March 8 that the Eagles had granted the 32-year-old's agent permission to seek a trade but hoped they would be able to keep him for the 2023 season.
Slay reportedly didn't ask for a trade, but he was seeking a contract extension since the 2023 campaign marked the final year of his deal.
