Slay was released.

Apparently, he asked to be released after being benched in favor of Pierre, who was absolutely out playing him.


Good move in benching him.

Does he get to keep the 10 million?

Yes. The $10M was fully guaranteed.

So a guy plays himself out of a job, then asks to be released and....they just oblige?!? We want volunteers not hostages!

I can't believe Darius didn't want to stick around for the championship run :lol:

So the precedent is there to can Tomlin

Steelers are swimming in residual cash from the nfl kitty

Cast him off or trade him to NY

Gotta love a fully guaranteed contract for an old, clearly washed (no Iggles fan was mourning his loss, believe me) CB. Great pro scouting and contract savvy right there.

Jibbs has always had a thing for guys he got a chubby for during the draft process.

He’s also like moth attracted to flame. With that flame being nothing more than a guys name and rep.

That’s why this cunt was so arrogant and brash during g the offseason. Thumping his chest and peacocking because we brought in guys like Ramsey & Slay.

Washed up has beens living on name and reputation

But that was good enough for this complete fraud to believe he had just put together the second coming of the 76 Steelers, the 85 Bears, or the 2000 Ravens defenses.

Look at that lame defense now. One of the most pathetic in the league.

Chance of being the worst in post-Noll Steeler history by season's end.

I haven't looked at the numbers, but I certainly have never witnessed a Steelers defense this legitimately awful. It's devoid of any strengths and even the guys you thought you could count on to do something don't even look like they're trying.
