The first factor is that he’s nearing the end of his career. Slay, a second-round pick in 2013 who just wrapped up his 12th NFL season, is now 34 years old and has played over 11,000 professional snaps.

He remains one of just nine players selected within the top 50 picks that year who are still active.

The second factor is that only two teams are on his list for finishing his career: the Philadelphia Eagles or Detroit Lions.

Slay’s current contract keeps him with the Eagles through 2025, but he carries a cap hit of nearly $13.8 million.

If released with a post-June 1 designation, the team would free up about $4.3 million in cap space, which could be valuable as they aim to build on their recent Super Bowl victory.

“I’ve got one more left, but you know how that works,” Slay said on the latest episode of the St. Brown Podcast, hosted by Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

“Hopefully, I can re-sign, but if not, we’ll see what happens because I definitely want to play another year.”

St. Brown made his recruiting pitch, asking Slay about his love for Detroit. Slay, who spent his first seven seasons with the Lions before being traded to the Eagles for mid-round draft picks in March 2020, spoke fondly of the city.

“Oh, I love Detroit. Nothing but love for it. That’s my second home. I still do a lot for the city to this day.

A lot of guys from Detroit who are now in the league were hanging around me when they were just high school kids.

That’s the crazy part,” said Slay, specifically mentioning Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner (Jets), Jourdan Lewis (Cowboys), Avonte Maddox (Eagles), and Donovan Peoples-Jones (Lions) as players he mentored.

“I’ve done a lot for the city, and that’s why I have so much love for it.”

The Lions may have an opening at outside cornerback, depending on free agency talks with Carlton Davis III.

Acquired via trade from the Buccaneers last offseason, Davis started 13 games in 2024 before suffering a broken jaw in Week 15.

Davis earned a 74.5 defensive grade from Pro Football Focus, the highest by a Lions outside corner since Slay posted a 75.0 in 2018 (minimum seven games).

Slay, who recorded a 73.3 grade in 2024 while starting 18 games and helping the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX, reaffirmed his preferred destinations.

“For sure, the two spots I’d love to stay are Philly or Detroit,” he said.

 

The chapel fell into absolute silence as Bob Dylan slowly walked toward the wooden podium where the microphone awaited him. No stage lights, no grand orchestra — just a frail man with a weathered guitar, the same one that had followed him through half a century of restless roads. Dylan sat down, bowed his head for a moment as if speaking to the friend he had lost, then began strumming the first chords. His voice — rough, raw, and achingly real — carried not just grief but the memories of a wild, unrestrained era of rock. He wasn’t singing for the crowd; he was singing for Ozzy, for the brotherhood they shared, for the days when music was rebellion and survival. As the ballad reached its final note, Dylan quietly placed his hand on the casket and whispered, “Rest easy, brother.” In that moment, no one in the room could hold back their tears.

The most emotional moment came when Mick Jagger, flanked by Bono and Aretha Franklin, led the entire hall in a rousing, tear-filled version of “Gimme Shelter.” Ozzy, seated beside his wife Sharon in the wings, could be seen nodding along, eyes glassy with emotion. Weeks later, the world would wake to the news: Ozzy Osbourne had passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family. Suddenly, that DVD — once just another rock release — became his final curtain call. Fans now speak of it in whispers, as if invoking a sacred relic. Vinyl reissues of the audio sold out within hours. Rock radio stations around the world played the full set uninterrupted. For many, it was a reminder of what rock once was — and who it would never be again. WATCH BELOW 👇👇👇
ChatGPT said: “She Didn’t Say a Word — But the Tears Said Everything”: Lady Gaga’s Heartbreaking Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne Leaves Fans in Silence It wasn’t on the setlist. No one expected it. But as Lady Gaga stood alone beneath a single spotlight in Milan’s San Siro Stadium, 60,000 fans held their breath. Dressed in all black with Ozzy’s iconic bat emblem stitched to her jacket, she sat at the piano and whispered, “This is for the Prince of Darkness.” Then came a slow, aching rendition of “Changes” — the Black Sabbath ballad that once echoed with Ozzy’s pain. Gaga’s voice cracked on the chorus. By the second verse, she was openly crying. The crowd didn’t cheer. They wept. Behind her, a giant screen displayed never-before-seen photos of Ozzy — not the wild rocker, but the devoted father, the quiet survivor. When the final note faded, Gaga simply looked up and whispered, “Rest now, legend.” The silence that followed said it all……full story below 👇👇👇
