Steelers Signing CB Darius Slay

Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reports that the Steelers are signing CB Darius Slay to a contract on Monday. 

It’s worth mentioning that signing him won’t impact the team’s compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.

Slay, 34, is a former second-round pick of the Lions back in 2013. He played out his rookie contract before agreeing to a four-year, $50.2 million extension that included $23 million fully guaranteed.

Slay was traded to the Eagles in 2019 and he quickly agreed to a three-year, $50 million extension that included $30 million guaranteed with Philadelphia. He’s due a $17 million base salary in 2023. 

In 2024, Slay appeared in 14 games for the Eagles and recorded 49 tackles, three tackles for loss, 13 pass defenses, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.

We had him included in our Top 100 – 2025 Free Agents list.
