After numerous media reports Wednesday, as well as confirmation from the player himself, indicated he would not be returning to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023, cornerback Darius Slay announced on Twitter late Wednesday that rumors of his departure were greatly exaggerated.

In a shocking turn of events, multiple media outlets are now reporting Slay and the Eagles have agreed to a re-worked deal that will keep him in Philly, provide the team with more cap space, and give Slay the long-term security he was seeking.
