Darius Slay has a future in recruiting and hours after he helped the Eagles land Steven Nelson, Philadelphia’s top cornerback has his eyes locked on a pass rusher.
All-Pro pass rusher Chandler Jones requested a trade from the Arizona Cardinals this offseason, per sources. Jones has been unhappy with his contract and future with the team. Cardinals don’t want to trade him and expect him to report to camp. But certainly a situation to watch.

Chandler Jones reportedly wants out of Arizona, and Slay has already started keeping his eyes on the situation. The Eagles currently have two edge rushers approaching free agency, while Brandon Graham signed on for another year this past offseason.
Due $15.5 million in the final year of his deal, Jones is an All-Pro and has logged 49 sacks over a two-year period before a biceps injury derailed his 2020 season.
