What Is Darius Slay’s Salary? All About Eagles CB’s Net Worth, Contract, and More

Darius Slay has been slaying this postseason. One of the reasons the Eagles confirmed their second meet with the Chiefs in the Super Bowl in the last three seasons. Sure, the cornerback is 34 years old, but the way he took charge against the Rams in the divisional round will make you question his age every time you watch that game. The veteran recorded 6 tackles and 3 pass deflections in a 28-22 win like that’s nothing.

But! But!! Despite having top-notch seasons with the Eagles, dark clouds are looming over his future with the one-time Super Bowl chams. The reason? Well, it looks like the team may prefer young CBs over a 12-year veteran. On top of that, Slay has been a salary cap casualty for a couple of years. Speaking of which, let’s take a look at his salary and break down his career earnings in the NFL.r

How Much is Darius Slay’s Net Worth in 2025?

Darius Slay entered the gridiron back in 2013, and since then, he’s played for two teams. Drafted by the Lions in the 2013 NFL draft, Slay spent his first seven seasons with the Detroit team and has been a part of the Eagles for the last five years. And if we round off his NFL contracts with both teams, he has raked up an estimated net worth of a whopping $25M as of 2025. That’s some solid money game, right? But of course, he also landed some pretty endorsement deals with Foco, Nike, BluAtlas, and SimpliSafe. While there’s no information on his endorsement earnings, one thing’s clear: he’s been making a good chunk of money.

How much is the Eagles’ CB’s salary?

Ever since Darius Slay landed in Philly, he’s making headlines when it comes to his salary and contract with the Eagles. His latest contract? That’s a sweet, ironclad deal. The Eagles offered him a two-year contract extension back in 2023 worth $42M. And the contract terms? Well, that includes a pretty signing bonus of $10.1M and an extravagant guaranteed income of $24.5M, no strings attached. If we break his deal down a bit further, he earns an annual average salary of $14M. Now, back to the present. In 2025, Darius Slay will take home a handsome base salary of $1.25M with a signing bonus of $14.5M and a workout bonus of $150K. Talk about hitting a jackpot.

12-year Veteran’s contract breakdown

For the last five seasons, Darius Slay has been on solid business terms with the Eagles. Before signing a two-year extension in 2023, he converted $14.88M of his salary into a signing bonus, clearing approximately $14.28M in cap space for 2022. That was a smart move from a veteran player, right? Looking back, he did the same thing in 2021, converting $11.4M of his salary into a bonus, freeing up about $8.65M in cap space.

However, his future with the Eagles is uncertain. If Philadelphia decides to cut him after June 1, they can clear $4.3M in cap space for the 2025 season while spreading the remaining dead cap across two years.
