Slay ultimately won't be given that chance as the Eagles elected to move on from the six-time Pro Bowler. Much of that decision can likely be attributed to the quick development of cornerbacks, Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, who made Slay a luxury the team couldn't afford.

The Super Bowl champion Eagles are releasing six-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Slay's release will be designated as a post-June 1 transaction, saving the Eagles $4.

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
