Eagles release Darius Slay in first big move after winning Super Bowl
NY Post
The Eagles aren’t standing pat after their Super Bowl 2025 victory.
Philadelphia is releasing veteran cornerback Darius Slay, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Monday, in the reigning champs’ first significant move of the offseason.
The six-time Pro Bowl defensive back had a year left on his contract.
The move will be designated as a post-June 1 release, per Schefter, thus saving the Eagles $4.3 million in cap space.
Following his first career Super Bowl win, the 34-year-old Slay had previously announced that he did not plan to retire.
“I got one year left in that tank,” Slay said. “I ain’t trying to play too much more. Unless a miracle happens and I’m just feeling like I’m 21 again, I just want to do 13 years and call it a day.”

Of course this is not 2018, this deadline does not represent a sea change in philosophy resembling that one. But, just as seven years ago, the hierarchy — different general managers, same CEO — is not homing in at making a run at eighth place at the expense of acquiring future assets in exchange for expiring contracts.
