Slay had three interceptions and 14 passes defended during the 2022 season and helped Philadelphia reach the Super Bowl, where it fell to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now eyeing the 2023 season, Slay is ready for a new deal, but the Eagles are trying to stay under the cap number of $224.8 million set by the league. However, both sides haven’t come to an agreement on a new contract.
It’s my understanding Darius Slay would like a new deal. Eagles would like to sign him to new deal & lower his cap number. But they don’t agree on money. I’m hearing Eagles are allowing him to see if there is a better deal with another team but the hope is Slay remains an Eagle pic.twitter.com/U0tob7NLDP
