A mutually beneficial relationship seems more than possible for the Buffalo Bills and the corner half of the free agent Darius Slay.
Without a team after being released by the Eagles of Philadelphia on Monday, the 34 -year -old Slay, wanted to play one more NFL season before calling it. Meanwhile, the Bills could use the help of a hearthock tested in combat.
Even if Buffalo decides to keep the free agent Rasul Douglas, who is going out, Slay could be a welcome upgrade on the besieged backup Kaiir Elam. While Slay has been reduced with a season to play on a $ 42 million contract over three years, the aging veteran will probably not be able to order a high salary. In the event that it is affordable, invoices short of salary ceiling should certainly explore the idea.
Illustrated sports National writer Mike Kadlick offered “five potential landing points for the Darius Slay corner half”, and naturally, the Bills were part of the quintet. Buffalo was listed as the potential pretender n ° 3 for Slay, in front of the Chiefs of Kansas City and Denver Broncos. The return to the Eagles or the Lions of Detroit, which drafted it, were tabuated as the main possibilities.
“Speaking of teams close to the Super Bowl claims, the Bills came to just three points to play in the big match last season. Unlike these teams, however, they are quite exhausted in the cornerback. Buffalo launched the veteran Rasul Douglas and the former sixth round Christian Benford at the corner for the majority of the season in 2024. The duo combined for two games. But could also help their young players fill the void when he calls him a career, “said Kadlick.
