Should the 49ers target Darius Slay? With Charvarius Ward likely leaving, the six-time Pro Bowler could add experience to San Francisco's secondary.

Less than a month removed from their Super Bowl victory, the Eagles are releasing one of the starters from the rout of the Chiefs. Cornerback Darius Slay might return at a reduced salary, of course, but two NFL sources confirmed Monday that the team is cutting him loose.

After the Philadelphia Eagles released Darius Slay on Monday, speculation immediately turned to the Detroit Lions as the next team for the six-time Pro Bowl cornerback. On the surface, it makes complete sense.

The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing the six-time Pro Bowl cornerback, a source told CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones.

The Darius Slay era is over in Philadelphia as the future Hall of Fame cornerback will play his final season in Pittsburgh with the loaded Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed defensive back Darius Slay, according to a report from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac. Slay, 34, is a six-time Pro Bowler who played the previous five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, including last season where he won Super Bowl LIX.

The Philadelphia Eagles are poised to release six-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay in a cost-cutting move, multiple outlets reported Monday.

The cornerback said there are “no hard feelings” about the Eagles releasing him and the 12-year veteran is open to a return to Philadelphia.

Darius Slay may not be moving very far as he prepares for the 2025 season. The All-Pro corner is on the Steelers’ radar, with Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz reporting a one-year agreement is in place.
