"The Buffalo Bills claimed veteran cornerback Darius Slay off waivers and released cornerback Ja'Marcus Ingram in a corresponding move, the team announced Wednesday. Slay, 34, was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Tuesday after the sides mutually agreed to part ways, his agents told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Slay was a healthy scratch in the team's loss to Buffalo on Sunday as the Steelers opted instead to elevate Asante Samuel Jr. to the active roster for the game."
"Slay played in 10 games for Pittsburgh, starting nine of them. He recorded three passes defensed, one fumble recovery, 36 total tackles and one tackle for loss. Slay will serve as another veteran presence in the Bills' cornerback room and could provide insurance and depth. Starting cornerback Christian Benford is coming off a career performance in which he had a fumble recovery touchdown and interception on back-to-back drives en route to being named AFC Defensive Player of the Week."
The Buffalo Bills claimed veteran cornerback Darius Slay off waivers and released Ja'Marcus Ingram in a corresponding move. Slay, 34, was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers after a mutual parting and had been a healthy scratch in the recent game against Buffalo. He played 10 games for Pittsburgh, recording three passes defensed, one fumble recovery, 36 total tackles and one tackle for loss. Slay adds veteran presence and insurance to the Bills' cornerback room amid rotations involving Tre'Davious White, Maxwell Hairston and Christian Benford. Slay won a Super Bowl with the Eagles last season and previously spent seven seasons with Detroit. Ingram spent four seasons with the Bills after signing as an undrafted free agent and was a healthy scratch the past three games.
