Darius Slay on trade rumors: I did not ask to be traded, but there’s no bad blood

All-Pro cornerback Darius Slay talked about a potential trade, says there’s no bad blood with the Eagles, and breaks down NFL free agency during latest podcast

Darius Slay has assumed the role of leader with the Philadelphia Eagles, and that means being honest about his business intentions.

An All-Pro cornerback who is well-respected around the league, Slay is looking to get paid his worth, and with the Eagles retooling on defense, he was granted permission to seek a trade.

During his weekly ‘Big Play Slay Podcast‘ on Colin Cowherd’s The Volume network, Slay talked about the trade rumors, broke down Philadelphia’s free agents, and also weighed in on the Lamar Jackson contract controversy in Baltimore.

One of the NFL’s funniest guys was entertaining as usual, while breaking down the business of the NFL.

Fletcher Cox indoctrinated Darius Slay on the Eagles culture and rabid fan base

Darius Slay and Fletcher Cox are teammates for the first time with the Philadelphia Eagles, but their relationship goes all the way back to the SEC and Mississippi State.

During his introductory conference call with the media, Slay revealed that he had a conversation with Fletcher Cox the night before he was traded to Philadelphia, and his former teammate provided some insight into the teams culture and rabid fan base per NBC Sports.

“He called me and he just said, ‘Man, I heard we’re trying to get you,’ and he just started explaining to me what to expect coming to Philly (from) the fans and from the owners. He said the owners are straightforward and honest and (the players) treat each other like brothers, they go out there and play ball for each other. And he said the fans will go crazy, he said they’re going to let you know when you’re playing good and let you know when you’re playing bad and I said I look forward to that. I want to know when I’m playing bad myself.”

When discussing the culture, Slay harped on the Eagles consistently going to the playoffs — something he didn’t do in Detroit.
