One week ago today, the Bills acquired former Steelers cornerback Darius Slay on waivers. Slay has still not reported.

The Bills placed Slay on the reserve/did not report list. They have yet to announce any plans beyond that. By all appearances, they’re waiting to see what Slay does.
On Wednesday, coach Sean McDermott referred any questions about Slay to G.M. Brandon Beane.
The Bills could, if they choose, pursue the recovery of a portion of the $8.74 million signing bonus Slay received from the Steelers as part of his one-year deal. They also could release him, which would subject him to waivers again.
The last time around, the Eagles also made a claim. The Bills had priority. Some in league circles believe Slay had hoped to get back to Philadelphia.
