Overview
- Buffalo claimed Slay off waivers in December after Pittsburgh cut him, but he declined to report as he weighed retirement and said he did not want to move again.
- The Bills placed him on the reserve/did-not-report list, which makes him ineligible to play for them this season unless Buffalo releases his rights, a move multiple reports indicate is unlikely.
- While the Bills played the Jaguars on Wild Card Sunday, Slay was seen at Lincoln Financial Field supporting Philadelphia alongside his wife and former Eagles, including Jason Kelce.
- Buffalo waived cornerback Ja’Marcus Ingram to create space for the claim, then lost him when the Texans picked him up, further thinning the Bills’ secondary depth.
- Public reaction criticized the optics of Slay’s appearance, and coach Sean McDermott said the team is focused on its current roster and wished Slay and his family well.
