Veteran NFL cornerback <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/darius-slay-30406/">Darius Slay</a> was recently claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills, but there’s a chance he won’t report to the team. <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1996630609683169732?s=20">Per Adam Schefter of ESPN</a>, Slay is unsure whether he wants to continue playing in the NFL and will make a decision soon.



“Slay is honored that a first-class organization like the Bills claimed him, but he is going to take some time away from football right now and decide in the next few days if he wants to keep playing,” Slay’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told Schefter.



The Pittsburgh Steelers waived Slay on Tuesday, and the Bills claimed him on Wednesday. As mentioned by<a href="https://x.com/TomPelissero/status/1996632291372945464?s=20"> Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network</a>, Slay was a healthy scratch by the Steelers in their game on Sunday, and he has struggled all year. Slay mentioned that this season would be his final year in the NFL, so with just a few weeks remaining, it’s possible he could call it a career before officially joining the Bills. 



The Steelers signed Slay this past offseason. The former <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/mississippi-state-bulldogs/">Mississippi State</a> star played in 10 games for the Steelers and registered 36 tackles, three passes defended, and one fumble recovery.

Before heading to Pittsburgh, Slay spent the last five seasons playing for the Philadelphia Eagles. During his time in Philadelphia, the 34-year-old was named to the Pro Bowl three times and helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl last season.



Slay began his NFL career in 2013 when the Detroit Lions selected him in the second round of the draft. He was with the team for seven seasons and was named to the Pro Bowl three times and the All-Pro First Team in 2017. 



Slay also helped the Eagles reach the Super Bowl during the 2022 season, but the team lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. During Opening Night of the Super Bowl, Slay talked about playing in the championship game for the first time in his career. 



“I’m just very thankful,” he said, <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/eagles-say-darius-slay-is-a-special-person-hes-thankful-for-super-bowl-opportunity">per Greg Auman of FOX Sports</a>. “It’s been a long journey. This is my first time making it past the first round in the playoffs, and I’m in Year 10. So I’m just very thankful for this moment and cherishing it. I’m ready to play, though.”
