"Back like I never left": Darius Slay to Remain with Eagles .. The Philadelphia Eagles can breathe a sigh of relief as star cornerback Darius Slay confirms he will be staying with the team.

 Darius Slay, the star cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is set to remain with the team after reports surfaced that he was going to be released. Slay took to social media to express his excitement about staying with the Eagles, saying, "Back like I never left." Slay had a solid first season with the Eagles, finishing with 59 tackles, one interception, and 13 passes defended. He is considered one of the best cornerbacks in the league and his presence on the field is a major asset to the Eagles defense.

Slay was acquired by the Eagles in a trade with the Detroit Lions prior to the 2020 season. The Eagles gave up a third-round pick and a fifth-round pick to acquire the Pro Bowl cornerback. Slay has been a consistent performer throughout his career, making three Pro Bowls and being named First-Team All-Pro in 2017. He is known for his ability to shut down opposing receivers and make game-changing plays.

The decision to keep Slay is a wise one for the Eagles, as they continue to rebuild their roster under new head coach Nick Sirianni. Slay brings a veteran presence to the team and his leadership on and off the field is invaluable. The Eagles defense struggled at times last season, but with Slay in the lineup, they have a better chance of success in 2021. Overall, the decision to keep Slay is a positive one for the Eagles and their fans.
