Detroit Lions Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay was nearly traded at the NFL's deadline mid-season last year, but instead, the 29-year-old was held on by the NFC North franchise as Slay wanted to negotiate a new deal with his potential next team.
Slay, a three-time Pro-Bowler, has been plastered around publicly as a potential trade piece, and the Lions' preeminent defensive back is finally responding about the rumors. Slay spoke to Michael Rothstein in ESPN, underlining his readiness for whatever comes next.
“I mean, they open for it so [the Lions] probably are having some talks,” Slay said. “Probably they just have to get the right, I’m guessing, whatever the right cost and then it can happen. That’s the only thing I can get from it, really. If they can get the right price for it, they’ll probably, most likely they do it.”

The seven-year pro played 14 games in 2019, recording two picks, one fumble recovery, and 36 solo tackles for the Lions in their dismal 3-12-1 season. As the vet nears free agency, starting in a few weeks, he could see his NFL career dramatically change with a spot on a different team—his first new team in almost nine years.
