Darius Slay was placed on the reserve/did not report list by the Buffalo Bills on Friday afternoon, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
This means that the Bills are retaining his rights despite the fact he’s expressed interest in retiring rather than playing for them.
Slay will not count towards Buffalo’s roster limit nor against their salary cap while on this list. So, there’s real no rush for them to waive him.
That is, unless the Bills feel like holding onto Slay could create bad blood with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
But it feels like they would’ve just waived him by now if they were really concerned about that relationship.
Maybe the Bills are holding onto Slay’s rights until after they play the Eagles in Week 17? And they’ll set him free to possibly return to Philly after that?
I’m not convinced that’s definitely the case. But I’m also not ready to rule it out.
We’ll see if something changes down the road. For now, the Bills hold Slay’s rights if he wants to play football.
