Darius Slay
Slay gives the Eagles a big-time performer at the cornerback position and a jolt of confidence for a group that can totally use a mental overhaul.
Following his trade to the Eagles, Slay had his contract extended making him the highest-paid corner in the league after agreeing to a three-year extension worth $50 million, with an annual average value of $16.67 million.
Slay will need to be “fantastic” and consistent for the Eagles after a career low grade from PFF that snagged his attention.
in 14 games played for a Lions team that had the NFL’s worst pass defense, Slay racked up 36 total tackles, 13 pass deflections, two interceptions, and 0 forced fumbles.
Slay’s 346 yards allowed on 162 press coverage snaps, and 177 yards allowed on 214 off-man coverage snaps are numbers that some cornerbacks would die and he won’t need to improve on that in 2020, just maintain it going forward.
