The Philadelphia Eagles released Slay last week after five seasons that concluded with a win in Super Bowl LIX last month. It was thought he would either return to the Eagles on a new contract or potentially return to the Detroit Lions, where he spent the first seven years of his career.

Darius Slay is heading to the other side of Pennsylvania. The veteran cornerback, who won a Super Bowl with Philadelphia last month, is signing a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press.
