It doesn't suck as much as aging.
Got his ring. Next few years are whatever he wants them to be. Good guy
You’d love college football then
Considering he been in the league as one of the top corners in the game for over a decade, has 6 pro-bowls and a Ring. He good to do whatever he choses.
I figure he will go someplace to do these two things... Get one more big pay day and play for a contender. If he only wants to get paid, he can get more but make no mistake, he will have choices. Hell, he might retire, he is 34. That is pretty old for any NFL player not playing long snapper, QB, Kicker or Punter.

Lions or the Commanders would be my best guesses where he would end up. There's nothing ruling out a return to the Eagles after testing free agency.
He's only made 110m in salary, I hope he can scrape by while unemployed.
Hopefully DOGE corrects these millionaires taking money meant for regular folks**
I was curious how it worked for people who had been on a contract and then the contract ends. Also, he’s eligible for a pension, does that exclude him from unemployment? Yes, just curiosity, not trying to argue government policy.
In my "I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night" opinion, under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, the answer to your question would appear to be no. Because 90% or more of Slay's income came from sports, and he's free to negotiate with other teams, he would be ineligible for unemployment compensation.
I would be interested how practice squad players would be affected by this as some may meet the qualifications to file unemployment.

Playing inside domed Ford Field would beat the heck out of playing outside in Philly and near Philly fans.
As someone that lived in Detroit for 4 years, it was awesome. The city has come a long way from where it once was.
I'd hate to have had that kind of FU money at his age.
Granted, I probably have better knees and shoulders than any retired NFL player.
