(Pittsburgh, PA) Former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Slay announced yesterday on social media that he is retiring from football. The thirty-five-year-old Slay played in ten games for the Steelers last season and he recorded three passes defended, a fumble recovery and 36 total tackles during those games even though he started in nine out of those ten games. Slay won Super Bowl LIX (59) on February 9th, 2025 in New Orleans with the Philadelphia Eagles, made it to the Pro Bowl six times and was a NFL first-team All Pro in 2017. Slay had 28 interceptions, 163 passes defended and 655 tackles in his career that lasted for thirteen seasons. Slay also played for the Detroit Lions. He was claimed by the Buffalo Bills on waivers last December after he was released by the Steelers, but he did not report to the team.
