Are the Steelers running the risk of another Patrick Peterson with Darius Slay?
The Steelers opted not to re-sign Donte Jackson, going instead for Darius Slay, who is even older. While Slay didn’t intercept a pass in the regular season last year, he still played at a high level. Then again, Patrick Peterson had a pretty good season the year before the Steelers signed him.
In fact, Darius Slay is older than Patrick Peterson was when signing with the Steelers. Slay is already 34 years old but hasn’t seen a major drop-off. In fact, prior to last season, he made the Pro Bowl in six out of seven seasons.
