The Bills aren\u2019t backing down.<\/p>\n

After refusing to show up and later threatening retirement<\/a>, Darius Slay was placed on the reserve\/did not report list by Buffalo, who claimed the six-time Pro Bowl cornerback off waivers earlier this week, according to NFL Network<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the move, the franchise will retain his rights, making Slay ineligible to join another team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Slay, who was released by the Steelers earlier this week<\/a>, needed some time to make a decision on his NFL future, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.<\/p>\n

\u201cSlay is honored that a first-class organization like the Bills claimed him, but he is going to take some time away from football right now and decide in the next few days if he wants to keep playing,\u201d Rosenhaus told ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The NFL veteran elaborated further on \u201cThe Speakeasy\u201d with Emmanuel Acho.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t feel like packing up and moving again,\u201d Slay said. \u201cI\u2019m 13 years in, like, I done did it. [If] they would have caught me at like 28, 29, I might have been like \u2018OK.\u2019 That\u2019s a top organization. They have a lot of great things going. They win, they go to the playoffs, they got a franchise quarterback. So, it wasn\u2019t a bad fit. It just caught me at a bad time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before joining Pittsburgh, Slay spent the previous five seasons with the Eagles.<\/p>\n
