6-time pro bowl cornerback, Darius Slay has announced his retirement after 13 seasons in the National Football League.

The veteran defender earned first team all pro honors in 2017 and built a strong legacy across multiple teams.

Slay spent much of his career, shining with the Detroit Lions before moving to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Last year he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but his performance dipped, leading to his release.

The Buffalo Bills claimed him off waivers, yet he never reported to the team.

Football analysts Mike Florio and Chris Sims reacted with praise on their show, calling Slay an NFL legend for his incredible achievements.

Fans and peers alike recognize his impact, especially during peak years in Detroit and Philadelphia.

Slay made it clear he would only play for the Eagles moving forward.

When that opportunity didn't materialize after his release, it became the sign he needed to step away from the game.

Congrats to Darius Slay on an unreal career that will be remembered for years.

His decision marks the end of an era for one of the league's top cornerbacks.
