One of the weirdest situations of the 2025 NFL season seems to have come to an end this week. And, of course, theby not reporting to the team after being claimed on waivers after a release from the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, announced he's retiring after 13 years in the NFL.
The Super Bowl champion and six-time Pro Bowler joined Jim Rome onRome asked Slay about how things went down with his situation in Buffalo. And from what Slay has shared since the decision, it seems that it was much less about the Bills than it was about himself."I've got a lot of love and respect for that organization over there," said Slay. "It's just the fact that, where I'm at in my career, I was more like 'If I wasn't going to Philly, I wasn't probably going nowhere else." He noted his admiration for Josh Allen and how he believes Buffalo is a "championship contender." But simply put, in what would have been his third stop over the last two seasons, Slay "I just really either wanted to go to Philly or go home." said Slay, who won Super Bowl LIX with the Eagles.It's understandable why Slay would want to return to Philly. He spent five highly successful seasons with the team, helped the franchise play in two Super Bowls and helped the Eagles win their second title in franchise history. But that urge at the expense of the Bills is still frustrating. Slay could have been a player to take some snaps at cornerback while Buffalo dealt with injuries at the position with Maxwell Hairston, Christian Benford, Taron Johnson and Dorian Strong. Slay may be saying nice things at this point about the Bills. But that does not mean he should expect Bills Mafia to be saying the same on his way out of the league.Khari Demos is an award-winning sports media creator and is a contributor for Bills On SI.
