Overview
- Agent Drew Rosenhaus says Slay is taking a few days to decide whether to keep playing, with retirement on the table.
- Buffalo claimed Slay off waivers after his Steelers release, and the Eagles also submitted a claim but lost on priority.
- On The Speakeasy podcast, Slay cited family, reluctance to move again and Buffalo’s cold weather for not reporting, while noting past ties to Philadelphia and Detroit.
- To claim Slay, the Bills cut cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram, who was then claimed by the Texans, a sequence head coach Sean McDermott called unfortunate.
- Buffalo retained roster flexibility by adding safety Darnell Savage after placing Slay on reserve/did-not-report, and Slay would forfeit roughly $350,000 if he remains away for the rest of the season.
