Darius Slay throws gasoline on the trade sparks with the Lions

Darius Slay has been fairly diplomatic about his status with the Detroit Lions. The Pro Bowl cornerback ended the playing nice on Wednesday night.

He wants out of Detroit and doesn’t care who knows about it.

That’s the only reasonable conclusion after Slay’s posts on Twitter in reaction to the Lions signing Desmond Trufant. In two separate posts, Slay pulls no punches. He asks for the Lions to hurry up and trade him.

The Pro Bowl cornerback has desired a new contract dating back to last offseason, but the Lions have held firm on making him honor the final years of his 4-yer, $48 million contract.

That appears to be up in flames now…

There’s not much grey area there. Slay wants out so he can get paid somewhere else.
