Darius Slay quotes/ info: 2019 season

If the Lions brass fails to sign Darius Slay to a contract extension because of the fact that he will turn 30 in 2021, I will understand the decision. However, if the main reason a contract extension doesn't occur is because Slay isn't considered a so called culture fit, that won't be acceptable. Slay is a team player, who enhances the Lions on and off the field. Thankfully, he's passion about the Lions and his teammates.

Deion Sanders: The Lions should pay Darius Slay right now

…………….

If the Lions end up trading Darius Slay, regardless what the Lions do in the draft, a starting caliber veteran CB will be needed.

To keep Darius Slay, Detroit Lions must make him NFL's highest-paid CB

...………..

Regarding what Darius Slay is saying publicly, I believe he might even accept a $ 16 million a year contract that is favorable in terms of guarantees. Whether the Lions would offer Slay that is hard to gauge.

ESPN: Lions talking with multiple teams regarding trade for Darius Slay, firm on asking price

………………

Right now, I'm not optimistic that another team will compensate the Lions enough ( from my perspective of what Slay is worth ) in a trade for Darius Slay AND be willing to satisfy Slay in terms of contract terms.

Darius Slay wants to be the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL

Report: Lions have spoken to teams about trading Darius Slay

Broncos tried to trade for Darius Slay last year, may try again

Richard Sherman: Darius Slay one of the best in the game

...….........……

Things can change quickly. Right now though, I'm not optimistic about the Darius Slay situation having a good outcome for the Lions.

Detroit Lions confirm Darius Slay trade talks; Bob Quinn says everything is on the table

…………………

The fact that Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia publicly mentioned the Lions have had trade talks involving Darius Slay, with more ahead, indicates to me that the most likely outcome regarding Slay is the Lions will trade him.

I hope I'm wrong unless the Lions get a trade that's too good to turn down. This likely won't occur.

A.J. Bouye trade opens the market, but the Lions should expect more for Darius Slay

…………..

There's no urgency for the Lions to trade Darius Slay. Unless the Lions know that the team can sign a quality veteran CB or trade for one at a price that makes sense, the Lions should probably hold on to Slay. Even factoring in a possible contract holding out in the summer.

Darius Slay hopes he’s traded soon


……………..

This thread relates to the following threads:


Lions: 2 yr deal with CB Desmond Trufant ( ex Falcons )

NFL Free Agency Preview: Defensive Backs ( 2020 )

Vikings trade WR Stefon Diggs to the Bills

Unfortunately, the odds are heavily against the Lions getting the trade compensation equivalent or better for Darius Slay that the Vikings received from the Bills for Stefon Diggs. The latter is only 26. Slay is 29.

If the Lions only get offers that are no more than the equivalent of a 3rd Round Pick, I rather the Lions keep Darius Slay until at least what transpires during the 2020 Draft.

……………..

It looks like the Lions agreeing to a contract with Desmond Trufant have speeded up the trade talk process regarding Darius Slay.

REPORT: Raiders interested in trading for CB Darius Slay and the interest is mutual

……………….

I hope the Eagles and Raiders get into a trade bidding war for Darius Slay. A 3rd Round Pick isn't enough for Slay from my point of view. Even with the addition of Desmond Trufant.

Report: “Framework” of deal in place to send Darius Slay to Eagles with extension

……………….

It looks like Darius Slay will be traded to the Eagles, barring something unexpected. Whether the Lions will get better trade compensation than Round 3: Pick 88 in the 2019 Draft (what the Lions ended up getting from the Eagles for WR Golden Tate ), remains to be seen.

Darius Slay after Detroit Lions' latest signing: 'Hope that speeds up my trade process!!'

……………….

The Lions release of Devon Kennard earlier this week probably contributed to the urgency of being traded on the part of Darius Slay.
