The Philadelphia Eagles are poised to release six-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay in a cost-cutting move, multiple outlets reported Monday.
The move, designated as a post-June 1 cut, would save the Eagles $4.3 million against their salary cap in 2025, per the reports.
NBC Sports Philadelphia reported Slay could return to the club at a lower salary. NFL Network reported Slay wants to play one more year.
Slay, 34, started all 14 games he played in this past season, recording 13 passes defensed and 49 tackles. He broke his string of three straight Pro Bowl appearances with the Eagles. Slay has made six Pro Bowls overall, including three straight with the Detroit Lions (2017-19).
He started all four playoff games for the Super Bowl LIX champions and tallied 14 tackles and five passes defensed.
Slay has 28 career interceptions and 160 passes defensed in 177 games (167 starts) with the Lions (2013-19) and Eagles. He was drafted in the second round by Detroit in 2013.
