Pit signed Asante Samuel recently and pit liked him better I’d assume makin slay kinda the odd man out.  Slay was probably a bit disgruntled with the scheme and just said screw it and wanted to get back to Philly where he’d probably start immediately in a defense he liked.

I think he asked for his release the first time they made him inactive.

Another question - How long can Slay contemplate retirement and keep the Bills in limbo?  

 

If a team drops a player today that we want, did we already lose our spot in the waiver line?  We need to wait until Slay officially retires?

 

So many questions.

 

I believe there is a failed to report list he can be put on until he does. I think Dri Archer went on it when we claimed and he didnt report

Serious Q does Beane call him/his agent and discuss playing time, plan for him, etc? Gotta imagine we didn't sign him to the actual team to make him inactive. Which to Slay would be a good deal (playoff team, starting CB time). I gotta imagine he isnt willing to play for anyone but Philly if Beane calls with those promises and he still doesn't show. What a weird situation.

I trust McD on secondary issues he’s usually good on that. Is Slay good? Probably not but could he provide a slight upgrade at boundary CB4? Yeah certainly possible.

 

It's just depth and another option in dime looks.  Tougher corner, playoff contact type of guy who tackles.  Also just a break glass in case of emergency type of dude since hairstons still working into the lineup, white has had a number of injuries, and ingram isn't good. 

 

Strong felt like the best candidate for that but he's done for the year.   Take your pick of jackson, codrington, and couch - and its 3 big fat question marks.  Either inexperienced, or the experience was pretty poor.

Well I wonder if this has something to do with the hopes that he could go back to the Eagles and the Eagles told him they would claim him but the Bills beat them to the punch. If he wants to play then great, if he doesn't then just hold onto his rights.

So kinda honoring him maybe wanting to go back to Philly without saying "hey NFL Slays going back to Philly"

So Beane calls Slay / Slay's agent, pours oil on the troubled waters.  Slay relents, agrees to play, and McDermott promptly 'Elams' him, and sits him for the rest of the season.

I hope the Titans claim him off waivers right away next time

No, it's a new category...a 'chump' pick.  You get stood up like this, and you get a few nice parting gifts.  Rice-a-Roni, Turtle Wax, etc. 🙁

[JMM]

Probably no chance but call Philly, see if they can get a 7th for him. A pick is a pick.

THE. TRADE. DEADLINE. HAS. PASSED. 
 

 

[BigAl2526]

Any chance Philly would give up a seventh round pick to get him back?
