A splash for Philly: The #Eagles are trading for #Lions star CB Darius Slay, sources say, finishing off talks that first began around the trade deadline. As part of the deal, Slay receives a new contract that puts him among the highest-paid at his position

Only gave up a 3rd and a 5th

IMO it's a good haul for Detroit

you don't have to give up a ton to get a 29 year old corner who is looking to be the highest paid in the nfl

lions were never keeping him and he's not good enough or young enough to create a bidding war

[SD]

3 years $50 million...$30 million guaranteed

Ehhhh

Good deal for both sides.  Now they can get a top notch safety in the draft and still fill the gaping WR hole they have in rds 1&2.

3 years $50 million...$30 million guaranteed

Ehhhh

it's the highest AAV in the nfl for a corner

also because of his age it's a short term deal which is smart for the eagles but it also should minimize what you have to give up for him

if he was 26 and was going to be on the team for the next five years in his prime it's gonna be a lot more obviously

I think a 3rd and a 5th is too much all things factored in but unfortunately due to the Eagles not being able to draft they were as desperate to get him as the lions were to trade him

A 3rd and a 5th are worth a top cb. Ramsey fetched two 1sts last season. Slays not in the same league but there's not that big of a gap between play and draft pick comp

Sounds good to me.

Ramsey is in another stratosphere as a player was 24 at the time of the trade and his team didn't have to get rid of him

zero comparison to the slay situation

[SD]

Ramsey was also awful with the Rams after the trade

[PhillyPhreak54]

Darius Slay has given up two catches over 50 yards in 6,030 snaps in his career. Both were his rookie year. Zero since then in last six seasons.

[ice grillin you]

so he's due?

Heck, that's a good day for last year's Eagles CBs.

[Rome]

A 3 and a 5 for Slay is highway robbery for Howie. 

The only way this doesn't work out is if the season is cancelled or Slay's legs fall off.

Or if it turns out the system is actually garbage no matter who they have out there.

At least it fills a need.
