The Eagles' decision to release Slay was strictly a business decision to help create more salary cap space. Per Schefter, the Eagles will save $4.3 million against the cap in 2025

The Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly made their first significant roster move of the offseason, releasing six-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay.

Slay has been with the Eagles since 2020. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 2013 as a second-round pick out of Mississippi State. Howie Roseman has some tough decisions to make as the team heads into the 2025 season, and Slay is the first of many.
