Eagles grant CB Darius Slay permission to seek a trade ahead of free agency

Darius Slay is looking for a contract extension and with NFL free agency set to begin, the Philadelphia Eagles have given the Pro Bowl cornerback permission to seek a trade

Darius Slay wants a contract extension and with the NFL free agency period set to kick off, Eagles brass has given the Pro Bowl cornerback permission to seek a trade.

The league salary cap is expected to exceed $224 million in 2023, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and where things currently stand, Philadelphia is expected to have roughly $8 million in cap space.

The Birds are set to have 18 pending free agents, and with another likely retool schedule on defense, the organization could conjure up a scheme for more flexibility.

Philadelphia could free up $12 million by restructuring his current deal, but with the veteran looking past the 2023 season, Slay could wind up in greener pastures with more years.
