Darius Slay Clapped Back At The Haters On Social Media After Another Eagles Loss Then Went Private

Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Darius Slay Jr. committed the cardinal sin of social media on Sunday evening. He bragged about the greatness of his career in a blanket response to the haters, deleted the post, and switched his account to private.

The internet never forgets!!

Slay got cooked in a loss to the Buccaneers. As did the rest of Philadelphia’s secondary, and defense, to be completely fair. Baker Mayfield completed 30 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Cade Otton and Sterling Shepard all went for more than 50 yards. (Evans nearly doubled that amount on eight catches.)

The Eagles dropped to 2-2 with the loss, which continues a frustrating trend from last season. Their offense often looks stagnant and their defense is of equal concern.

Nick Sirianni is officially on the hot seat if he was not already. His job security is rapidly declining and Philadelphia needs to turn things around in a hurry. Its roster is too talented to be losing. The big-money players need to step up.

It is not sunny in Philadelphia! (sorry not sorry if that’s an overplayed joke)

Darius Slay is one of those well-paid guys, on a three-year, $42 million contract. He was a liability in the 33-16 loss and at one point celebrated an incomplete pass as if he made the stop. In reality, he was lucky that Mayfield could not connect with Kameron Johnson in the back of the end zone.

The receiver dropped a perfect throw that hit him in the hands.

There was a lot of chatter about the Philadelphia Eagles on NFL Twitter/X after the game and Slay was getting roasted. He responded with a post directly to his feed. It was not in reply to anyone or anything in particular, just the ether.

The post was deleted not too long after Slay let it rip. Maybe an agent got to him. Maybe the team got to him. Perhaps he thought better of it.

For whatever reason, Slay’s post is gone forever — except it’s literally everywhere because screenshots exist. He also set his account to private after hitting delete.
