Darius Slay claimed on waivers by Buffalo

[BananaB]

I thought we had the best pass D in the league? 

[Comebackkid]

can he block?..we need a wr

[djp14150]

It reported the eagles filed to claim him too…Buffalo is higher.

[SCBills]

Bills might need to do some convincing.  
 

Lots of chatter on X that Slay/Eagles had mutual interest.  

[Process]

Don't dislike the signing but I am surprised they did it. 

 

The real mystery is how you got this thread title past @Simon . He must be in a real good mood tonight.

 

[WotAGuy]

Has anyone mentioned how many teams passed on him before the Bills got him?  Had to be 25 or more. Clearly they all know better!  As soon as Slay gets here, there’s gonna be a dick painted in the snow on his lawn.

I'm sorry. If I was Darius Slay, I wouldn't want to return to Philly. No need to come back to a team that got rid of me in the first place. Just move on.

Believe it or not, I think the Bills are 3rd in returning/boomerang players.  The Rams have more than us and I can’t remember the other team.

Yeah, and I don't prefer that.

I wohld laugh if the Steelers signed Elam though. The Bills getting anything for him from Jerry was a heist. 

We’ve already recouped Jordan Hancock in this grade, and still have a 7th next year. 

[MikePJ76]

Yea it sounds like the eagles would have liked a reunion.  They added Alexander a few weeks ago and that didn’t work out.  Slay was pretty damn good in Philly.

 

if nothing else he can give some insight into little things the eagles do on defense in a few weeks.

[Bruffalo]

If he's keeping Dane Jackson off the field I'm fine with it. 

 

[1st&ten]

Well at the very least if our seeding is set by the last game of the year vs the Jets he might get a lot of playing time.

Id guess the Bills had buy in but his wife was literally posting at Eagles fans and changed her heart emoji’s to green on X earlier today.

Oh well. Such is the waiver wire. He can either play or allow his twighlight to continue to fade as a malcontent.

You guys all remember when Benford got knocked silly in KC last year and we didn’t have anybody else, right? 

 

An experienced six-time Pro Bowl CB with a SB ring literally dropped into our laps and we’re complaining?

 

He’s not going to see the field unless he has to, but I’d rather it be Darius Slay than Ja’Marcus Ingram or Dane Jackson in a spot like that.

 

 

[BRH]

And in terms of development, how lucky is Maxwell Hairston?  In his rookie year he gets to practice with and learn from Darius Slay, Tre White, and Christian Benford.

 

If he keeps his eyes and ears open, he’s going to really have a chance to be something else for us.

I think he has already stated he is retiring at the end of the season.  He was probably counting on finishing in Philadelphia.

[Buffalo Ballin]

Then, once again, gentlemen...

 

Darius Slay will retire during half time.
