Philadelphia Eagles star cornerback Darius Slay insisted he does not want to leave the franchise after he was made available for trade.
On Friday, it was reported the Eagles had given five-time Pro Bowler Slay permission to seek a trade from other teams. Slay joined the Eagles via trade in March 2020 and became a cornerstone of a fierce defence renowned for harassing quarterbacks with an NFL-leading 70 sacks - 15 more than any other team - as well as 17 interceptions, tied third in the league this past season.
On Saturday, the 32-year-old addressed the rumours on his podcast to let the infamously passionate Philadelphia fans know a trade is not his desire. Slay also made it clear that he understood the business and there was no hard feelings towards the Eagles franchise.
