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.
