Lions CB Darius Slay After Reported Trufant Deal: 'Hope That Speeds Up My Trade Process'

Three-time Pro Bowl CB Darius Slay wants out of Detroit. After ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Lions have reached a deal with former Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant, Slay tweeted, "Congrats to my guy!!! Hope that speeds up my trade process!!"

He then tweeted a second time.

"They need to hurry it up."

The 29-year-old cornerback has been in the middle of trade rumors throughout the offseason and the Lions have reportedly spoken with multiple teams about the defensive back.

The Jets, Raiders and Eagles could all be potential destinations for Slay after the aforementioned teams missed out on high-priced CB Byron Jones, according to Schefter.
