US EditionSix-Time Pro Bowl Cb Darius Slay Announces Retirement
- On Monday, veteran cornerback Darius Slay announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons and posted a social-media statement expressing gratitude and readiness for a new chapter.
- When the Buffalo Bills claimed him off waivers in December, Slay refused to report, saying in a video with streamer Janky Rondo that 'No team can call me but the Eagles.'
- Across his NFL tenure, he made six Pro Bowls, was a 2017 first-team All-Pro, and recorded 28 interceptions, 163 passes defended, and 655 tackles.
- The Eagles do not have a need at cornerback after signing Tariq Woolen and Jonathan Jones, leaving little reason to re-sign Slay, who at 35 may struggle to attract outside interest.
- He played 74 of his 187 career games with the Eagles, starting 73 and recording nine interceptions, becoming one of their most important acquisitions if Slay is done.
