The Eagles are releasing veteran cornerback Darius Slay as a salary cap casualty. Philadelphia save roughly $4 million with the release of the 34-year old. Slay has no intention of retiring, so he will be available to sign.

The Eagles could cut more players after releasing Darius Slay — potential cap-saving moves for James Bradberry, Bryce Huff, Dallas Goedert and Lane Johnson.

He was a terrific cornerback and a mentor to his heir, Quinyon Mitchell. But there's no need to panic over whether the Eagles can thrive without him. They can.
