Darius Slay’s potential return to the Detroit Lions could become a reality after a surprising move by the Eagles. The veteran cornerback, who had a solid seven-year stint with the Lions, went on to play five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. During his time with the Eagles, Slay played a crucial role in their Super Bowl-winning defense. However, the Eagles decided to part ways with the 34-year-old in an effort to create more cap space. Despite being cut, Slay isn’t ready to call it quits just yet and seems to be aiming for one last shot at another Super Bowl title.
On a podcast with Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, Slay mentioned that he still believes he has one more strong season left in him and expressed interest in returning to the Lions now that the team has built a winning culture under coach Dan Campbell. Even though Slay’s performance has slightly declined with age, he has shown that he can still perform at a high level, particularly in key playoff moments against top NFC teams.
