Quandre Diggs seems to think so.

I don't think CB is really a huge need for us. Our resources would be better allocated to positions such as linebacker or DT at this point. That's where we are really hurting. I'd argue that above all linebacker is probably our most threadbare position at the moment.

Keep Diggs, cut Adams, sign Slay and Ryan Neal to a longer term. Draft a decent safety prospect.

We've already gone down that road, Clowney is NOT the player he was three years ago.
IF the Seahawks secondary can lock up the back end and Brandon Jordan can coach up the front seven to terrorize the competition's Offense, stuff their Run Game, we won't need to waste Cap dollars on Clowney or any other Also Ran Defenders that are past their prime.

Appears Slay is staying :

CB Darius Slay expected to remain with Eagles after day-long discussions Wednesday
After being given permission to seek a trade ahead of free agency and his release appearing evident earlier Wednesday, Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay tweeted late Wednesday night: “Back like I never left!!! Run it back.”

It's re-signed, not resigned.

Why not? The year he was here, he was the only bright spot on that line. Much better supporting cast this upcoming season already

RE-SIGNED
A tad different than resigned

Further, Slay was never actually cut and is still under contract for 2023, so there was no need for him to sign anything.
Slay also has three more void years on his contract after that, but that was just a trick to reduce his cap hit in 2022 and 2023 at the cost of guaranteeing the Eagles will have $13.8M of dead money on their cap next year from Slay's current contract.

(On the subject of Clowney which also came up in this thread...)
I see it a little differently, tho' I agree it's worth talking to Clowney. I just think it'd be worthwhile because he could be relatively inexpensive and still good enough to be a decent part of a DL rotation.
That 2013 Seahawks defensive line was spectacular because it consisted of a bunch of good-to-very-good players and could be strong on every down without any players wearing down, because they could keep rotating. Bryant, McDaniel, Mebane, Clemons, Bennett, Avril, McDonald, and Irvin all played between 46.2% (Red) and 57.4% (Bennett) of the Seahawks' defensive snaps that season.

Diggs isn’t the high priced safety who should be cut.

Did you just get double wooshed?

Quite possibly. Let's try to diagnose it.
Here's where I am:
@James in PA made a joke about the spelling error in @SPOHAWK's comment and then after SPO didn't get it (I did, so no whoosh there), you explained with a straight spelling correction.
Over an hour later, another poster repeated pretty much exactly the same thing you had said. Not a whoosh, but a different form of cluelessness, about on the same level as when AOL'ers started showing up in Usenet news groups in the early '90s, quoting the entirety of huge threads, and adding something along the lines of "me too."
I then pointed out that even "re-signed" wouldn't be right in this case because Slay was never actually cut, was therefore still under contract with the Eagles for 2023 (and technically, his contract goes for another three seasons after that, but those are void years to spread out his bonus and reduce his cap hit in the first couple of seasons of his extension), and therefore didn't need to sign anything to stay with the Eagles.
I don't even see a single thing that might have whooshed over my head, so it's entirely possible it's a double.
I'm pretty old, and if you remember the now-banned user Welshers, I always thought he might be doing some kind of humor in many of his comments around here. I never got it, but it seemed like he thought he was doing something humorous, so I figure there was prob'ly a lot of whooshing going on.
So tell me: did I get double-whooshed in this case? If so, please explain how. It'll be an educational experience for me.
