Darius Slay Has Sixth-Highest Cap Hit For Eagles
The Athletic's Brooks Kubena suggests that Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay, who has the sixth-highest salary cap hit on the team in 2025, could be a cap casualty this offseason. Cutting the 34-year-old Slay with a post-June 1 designation would save the team $4.3 million this year and $17.7 million in 2026. The six-time Pro Bowler continues to play at a high level for the Eagles, but he also battled multiple injuries in 2024 and missed time with groin and knee ailments. Philadelphia may find it hard to get rid of such an influential player in their secondary, but they have the luxury to do so after both defensive backs Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean (their first two draft picks last year) were finalists for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Slay didn't record an interception during the regular season and finished with 49 tackles (39 solo), 13 pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 14 regular-season games.
