Eagles set to release Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay in stunning turn of events

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles are planning to release cornerback Darius Slay when the new league year opens Wednesday, NFL sources told The Philadelphia Inquirer.

In a relatively stunning turn of events, the Pro Bowl cornerback went from a sure lock to return to the roster, to wanting an extension and receiving permission to seek a trade, to now slated for free agency after the Eagles directed their attention to re-signing fellow Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradberry.

Bradberry will officially sign the three-year, $38 million contract with $20 million guaranteed he agreed to on Tuesday later today.
