Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay could soon find himself in Philadelphia with a three-year contract extension in hand.

Per ESPN's Josina Anderson, "there are ongoing discussions right now regarding the framework" of a three-year extension, which would be part of a move sending Slay from Detroit to the Eagles.

The news comes after the Lions reportedly agreed to a two-year deal with ex-Atlanta Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant, per ESPN's Jordan Schultz.

ESPN's Adam Schefter added the move would enable the Lions to continue looking for a team to acquire Slay as they revamp their defense.
