STEELERS ON HIGH ALERT: Eagles Release CB Darius Slay, Mutual Interest Could Lead to Pittsburgh Reunion
Pittsburgh, PA – The NFL free agency period just got a whole lot more interesting. The Philadelphia Eagles have released veteran cornerback Darius Slay, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are among the teams that could be a potential landing spot.
Slay, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, has been one of the top cornerbacks in the league over the past decade. He’s known for his shutdown ability, ball-hawking skills, and toughness.
The Steelers have had interest in Slay before, and it’s no secret that he’s a fan of the team. In fact, Slay has been open about his admiration for the Steelers’ organization and his desire to play for them.
“I’ve always been a fan of the Steelers,” Slay said in a previous interview. “I love their tradition, their history, and their passion for football.”
With the Steelers in need of cornerback help, Slay could be the perfect fit. He’d bring a level of experience and talent to the team’s secondary, and his presence would immediately upgrade the unit.
The Steelers aren’t the only team interested in Slay, however. Several other teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers, are also reportedly in the mix.
But the Steelers’ connection to Slay runs deep. He’s been a fan of the team since he was a kid, and he’s always admired the way they do things.
“I love the way the Steelers play football,” Slay said. “They’re a physical team, they’re a tough team, and they’re a team that always competes.”
With Slay now available, the Steelers will likely make a push to sign him. It’s a move that would make sense for both parties, and it’s one that could pay big dividends for the team in the long run.
