"Maybe" that's a lot of speculation. Slay started for the Eagles D last year when they won a Superbowl, so not the worst player out there. Look, this is a mess for the Bills. All the reports out there ahead of this were Slay wanted to go to the Eagles, who were very interested in reuniting with him. (There were Eagles outlets reporting it 2 days ago) Clearly the latter is true the Eagles put in for him, & it certainly looks like that's where Slay wanted to go since the urge to retire didn't come upon him until after he found out the Bills not Philly had claimed him. There were more than signs, it was common knowledge being reported in the press. Despite that Mr. Beane put in a claim. & Now here we are. So Mr. beane bears responsibility, not McD. It's getting harder to give him the benefit of the doubt after he yelled at Jeremy White on the radio that WR1 was not a need (not aged well) and haggled over which #1 pick to give up for Waddle so didn't get him. Mr. Beane should stop getting a pass.
