2025 Fantasy Outlook
Slay spent the first 12 years of his career with the Lions and Eagles, but he was let go by Philadelphia following the team's Super Bowl LIX win. The 34-year-old will provide veteran leadership for Pittsburgh in 2025, and he should start at outside cornerback. Slay remained productive as a starter in 2024, logging 49 tackles (39 solo) and 13 pass defenses over 14 regular-season outings, but he was held without an interception during the regular season for the first time since 2013.

Officially signs with Pittsburgh
Slay signed a one-year contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Slay officially finds a new home in Pittsburgh, bringing veteran leadership to the team's secondary and becoming an option to start opposite Joey Porter at outside cornerback. The 34-year-old and six-time Pro Bowler started all 14 of his regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024, racking up 49 tackles (39 solo), 13 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Slay agreed to remain in Philadelphia on a restructured contract last offseason after briefly appearing to be headed elsewhere. Knee issues limited the 11-year veteran to 12 games, the fewest of his career, but he nonetheless recorded 57 tackles, his most since 2020. He also picked off a pair of passes, taking one to the house. He lines up to start at corner again for the Eagles this season, but much will depend on whether his health holds up in his age-33 season, as he also dealt with a reportedly minor back injury in the wild-card game.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might remain in Pennsylvania
Slay could sign with the Steelers if he is released by the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
While the veteran cornerback hasn't officially been let go yet by the Super Bowl champions, there has been communication between his camp and Pittsburgh ahead of his likely release, so he may end up staying in the Keystone State. Slay is expected to be designated as a post-June 1 cut, but he would be eligible to sign with another team immediately.
