Heading into Sunday’s home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Buffalo Bills have alternated between wins and losses in the past four games. If that trend continues, Buffalo would lose today, moving their record to 8-5.
Earlier this week, the Bills added an All-Pro player, Darius Slay, to the roster. Unfortunately, the six-time cornerback has not reported to the team. It’s possible he never will.
According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the Bills are still determining what they’ll do with Slay after claiming him on waivers. For now, they’ve placed him on the reserve/did not report list. The Bills could just keep Slay on that list until season’s end, when his contract will expire.
Otherwise, they could just opt to move on and cut Slay from the team. That would allow the 34-year-old to pursue other playing opportunities if he so chooses.
Some believe he had been trying to get back to the Philadelphia Eagles, where he won a Super Bowl. It should be noted that the Eagles did place a claim on Slay, but the Bills had a worse record, so they were awarded him instead. Philadelphia wants Slay back, but whether he’ll make it to the City of Brotherly Love remains to be seen.
