Darius Slay will not be returning to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023.
The veteran cornerback announced his departure on Wednesday morning:
Nothing but love Philly!! Lets see where we heading next..

Shortly thereafter, multiple NFL insiders confirmed that Slay was indeed being released. And specifically to be designated as a post-June 1 cut, which will ultimately clear $17.5 million in cap space (his 2023 base salary and his $500K workout bonus). But those savings will not actually come into effect until June 1.
