Nabbs4u Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) ^^ Guess he was trying everything he could possibly do, to ensure not being a Lion under Matt Patricia in 2020. Assuming of course said contract extension would have to be worked out BEFORE a deal is approved. Seem to work to a T, I guess!

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 For the record: I'm not being critical of Slay. I love "Big Play Slay"... the guy is a fantastic CB, and made some huge plays for us over the years. He has the perfect mindset for the position, and, despite struggling as a rookie, emerged as a top CB in this league. He's a great person and player, and his finger wag is immaculate. I would have loved to keep him around, but it appeared that his contract demands and dislike of Patricia would never let that happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were (reportedly) trying to find a trade partner for quite some time. In the end, it worked out well for both sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can actually teach Jalen Mills how not to do this when you suck and get burnt? That alone might be worth 50M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll always love the combination of his finger wag and huge grin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything at this point would be a Teaching Moment IMO.🍺 Edited March 19, 2020 by Nabbs4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOBSON10 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Great move for Philly. Slay's been stuck here in Detroit rotting basically, he's a legit #1 CB without question. Impact player, just the type of player Philly needs to get back to the top of the NFC. Don't let the years of losing in Detroit fool you, this guy makes big plays and is one of the best CB's in the NFL.

Good trade and sign for the Eagles unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 And that's fair: he may have not been in an environment like that previously. It appeared to just be ball busting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s a white guy - who struggled to even stay on an NFL roster - that, “didn’t want to play for a white guy” and was excited he was cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is: "Any football coach that grades players based on their knowledge of architectural trivia is hot garbage who should be fired immediately" Did I get the right answer?

Gmen Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Some players respond to the carrot, some to the stick. Patricia didn't read Slay properly and gave him the stick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL-TwoWinsAway Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It's no secret that Patricia likes to bust balls. Some players like that and some don't. When Slay approached Patricia about that exchange (one year later), Patricia apologized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
