Quinyon Mitchell and Darius Slay will have a lifelong relationship. As the Eagles rookie prepares to wrap up his rookie season, he's paying the ultimate homage to his veteran teammate. Dur

Whether Darius Slay plans to retire after the season or not, the Philadelphia Eagles cornerback is preparing for this year to be his last with the team. Per NBC Sports Philadelphia, Slay is leaning towards playing one more year but understands that likely isn't with the Eagles.
