Bills Put Darius Slay on Reserve/Did Not Report List After Refusal to Report

Buffalo retains the 34-year-old cornerback’s rights during his family-focused decision period.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh waived Slay earlier this week, the Bills claimed him on Wednesday, and he informed Buffalo he would not report as he weighs retirement.
  • On Emmanuel Acho’s Speakeasy podcast, Slay cited prioritizing family, not wanting to move again, and Buffalo’s cold weather, adding he is roughly 50-50 on continuing to play.
  • Agent Drew Rosenhaus said Slay will take a few days before deciding whether to keep playing.
  • To claim Slay, Buffalo waived cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram, who was then claimed by the Texans, thinning the Bills’ depth at the position.
  • The Eagles also submitted a waiver claim, but the Bills won priority and now hold Slay’s rights after placing him on the reserve/did not report list; coach Sean McDermott called the situation unfortunate.
