Philadelphia Eagles Cornerback Darius Slay said he plans to play next season, the last year of his three -year contract of $ 42 million.
The Eagles are fresh from its Super Bowl victory and may need to rework Slay’s contract to lower its payroll number or release the 34-year-old completely. These options became more appealing to the heel of Cooper Dejean and Quinyon Mitchell who came out successful rookie seasons.
“I have another one left (on my contract), but you know how it works,” Slay said recently at St. Brown podcast. “Whatever they want to do, I can sign back, hopefully. If I am not, we will see what I do because I want to play another year, for sure.”
At that time, Lion’s wide recipients floated Amon-Ra St. Brown the idea of a possible return to the place that Slay began his NFL career: Detroit.
“If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not,” Slay said. “Sure, the two places I would like to be in are Philly or Detroit. The most important, the most important, the most important I would love to be on.”
Slay recorded 49 tackles, a forced Fumble and a Fumble recovery in 14 matches (all starts) last season.
A six-o’clock Pro Bowl-Surval, Slay had 619 tackles, 28 intercepts-incrimination three returned for touchdowns and five Fumble recovery in 177 career games (167 starts) with Lions and Eagles.
