Bills Place Slay on Reserve, Claim Savage off Waivers

The Buffalo Bills have made significant roster moves by placing cornerback Darius Slay on reserve, as he opted not to report to the team. This decision follows the Bills claiming Slay off waivers. His refusal to join the Bills means he will not have the chance to report to the Philadelphia Eagles, who were next in line for the waiver claim. As a result, the Bills will maintain his rights throughout the season.

Bills Claim Darnell Savage Off Waivers

In a related action, the Bills claimed safety Darnell Savage off waivers after he was released by the Washington Commanders. Savage’s release came on Thursday, following a brief stint with Washington. Here are some key details about Savage’s recent performance:

  • Joined Washington in September
  • Played in eight games
  • Recorded 15 total tackles
  • Notched one forced fumble and one pass defended
  • Previously played two games with the Jacksonville Jaguars this season
  • Seven-year NFL veteran
  • Spent his first five seasons with the Green Bay Packers

These roster moves reflect the Bills’ commitment to bolstering their defense as the season progresses. The addition of Savage could provide valuable experience and depth to their safety position.
