The Philadelphia Eagles will designate S Darius Slay a Post 6/1 release next week, moving on from the 6x Pro Bowler before the final year of his contract. The 34-year-old was set to earn $16M in 2025, after reeling in $23.15M over the past two seasons.

Instead, Philly will keep his $13.78M cap hit on the books into June, then take on dead hits of $9.456M in 2025, and another $13.294M in 2026. The move will free up $4.324M of cap space once June gets here, but Slay will become a free agent as soon as the designation is processed (next week).

The Eagles currently carry around $17M of Top 51 cap space into March.
