The report to end all reports, at least as it pertains to Darius Slay, surfaced on Thursday. The star cornerback is officially staying in Philadelphia.
After it was reported that the Philadelphia Eagles were expected to cut Slay on Wednesday, the two agreed to a two-year extension through 2025, per multiple sources.
Slay signed a two-year, $42 million extension, including $23 million guaranteed at signing, contract with the Eagles on Thursday.
He’s back: The #Eagles are keeping star CB Darius Slay after all, with the team reaching a 2-year extension through 2025, per me and @MikeGarafolo. He announced his release but wasn't actually released. The two sides got together and worked it out. The Pro Bowler sticks. pic.twitter.com/FrpVKs390f

Slay was named a Pro Bowler in five of the past six seasons and a first-team All Pro in 2017. After playing his first seven seasons with the Detroit Lions, he signed a three-year contract worth more than $50 million with the Eagles.
In 2022, Slay was a cornerstone of the NFL’s best pass defense, breaking up 14 passes and stealing three interceptions. He also made 55 tackles.
Slay will return in the same capacity in 2023, as will fellow cornerback James Bradberry, who agreed to a new deal with the Eagles on Tuesday. Opposing quarterbacks beware.
