CB Darius Slay aims to play in 2025 with Eagles ... or Lions

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay said that he plans to play next season, the final year of his three-year, $42 million contract.

Fresh off their Super Bowl victory, the Eagles may need to rework Slay's contract to lower their salary cap number or release the 34-year-old altogether. Those options became more appealing on the heels of Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell coming off successful rookie seasons.

"I've got one more left (on my contract), but you know how that works," Slay said recently on the St. Brown Podcast. "Whatever they want to do, I might re-sign back, hopefully. If I ain't, we'll see what I'm doing because I do want to play one more year, for sure."

At that point, Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown floated the idea of a possible return to the place with which Slay began his NFL career: Detroit.

"If it is, it is. If it ain't, it ain't," Slay said. "For sure, the two spots I would love to always be at is Philly or Detroit. The main two, the main ones I'd love to be at."

Slay recorded 49 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 14 games (all starts) last season.

A six-time Pro Bowl selection, Slay had 619 tackles, 28 interceptions -- including three returned for touchdowns -- and five fumble recoveries in 177 career games (167 starts) with the Lions and Eagles.
