Darius Slay, who recently won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, has signed a 1-year, $10 million fully guaranteed deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers added the veteran cornerback to their secondary in a move negotiated by agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey. Slay joins the Steelers after spending the past 5 seasons with the Eagles, where he had a successful stint as a cornerback.
The Steelers now have a strong defensive backfield with the addition of Slay, who will be playing alongside players like Joey Porter Jr., Minkah Fitzpatrick, and DeShon Elliott. Slay, a 6-time Pro Bowler, brings valuable experience and playmaking ability to the Steelers’ defense.
The Eagles released Slay with a post-June 1 designation to free up salary cap space. Slay had an impressive season with the Eagles, finishing with 13 passes defended, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and 49 tackles. He was also a captain multiple times during his time with the Eagles.
Slay began his career with the Detroit Lions, who drafted him in the second round of the 2013 draft. He has made a name for himself as one of the top cornerbacks in the league and has been a consistent Pro Bowl selection throughout his career. Overall, Slay’s signing with the Steelers adds strength and experience to their defense as they prepare for the upcoming season.
