Despite recent reports of a potential exit from the Eagles, star cornerback Darius Slay reportedly will remain with the team after agreeing to terms on a contract extension.
Philadelphia retained Slay, 32, on Thursday by agreeing to sign him to two-year, $42 million contract, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The deal also reportedly will include $23 million in guaranteed money.
Thursday’s news comes less than 24 hours after Slay seemingly confirmed his return to the team on social media amid reports that he likely wouldn’t be on the roster next season. On Wednesday, it was reported Philadelphia planned to cut Slay, who received permission from the team March 10 to seek a trade, after the two sides were unable to find a resolution in their continued discussions on an extension.
