Darius Slay ‘This Close’ to Becoming a Baltimore Raven This Offseason

by Anthony Dacunto

The Philadelphia Eagles pulled off a major coup by securing the signature of Darius Slay, their star cornerback. Slay, who is considered a vital cog in the Eagles' defense, recently revealed that he came very close to joining the Baltimore Ravens before deciding to stay in Philadelphia. According to the player, the Ravens were the first to make an offer and it was 'just what he wanted'. However, despite being offered his ideal contract by the Ravens, Slay remained committed to staying with the Eagles. The deal between the Ravens and Slay was reportedly on the verge of completion, but the player had one last meeting with the Eagles, which changed everything. It seems that this final meeting with the Eagles was enough to convince Slay to commit his future to the team he clearly loves. The player gave the Eagles the chance to match the Ravens' offer, and it appears that they did just that. Some are disappointed in hearing this, upset that Slay even considered heading elsewhere. Others, including myself, believe that his decision to stay with the Eagles is a clear indication of Slay's desire to be part of the team's future. The fact that Slay turned down what he described as his 'perfect offer' from the Ravens in favor of staying with the Eagles is a testament to his loyalty and commitment to the team. It shows that he is not just interested in financial gain, but also genuinely prefers to remain an Eagle. This is a clear indication that Slay is a key piece of the team's puzzle, and his presence on the field will be vital to their success in the coming seasons.
