The Buffalo Bills just made a big move on Wednesday afternoon.

Slay had just been placed on waivers by Pittsburgh after suiting up against Buffalo on Sunday.
The 34-year old cornerback is a six-time Pro Bowler, and he just won the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Slay began his NFL career with seven seasons with the Detroit Lions. He intercepted 19 passes in that tenure, including a league-high eight in 2017.

Then it was five years in Philly for the Eagles, and Slay had nine more INTs for them.

The man who was once known as Big Play Slay wasn't making too many of those so far this season.
But one of the biggest areas of need this season for the Bills, in part due to injuries, has been help at cornerback and safety.

Slay can shore up the secondary somewhere, and he can also serve as a solid veteran voice for rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston.
For a Buffalo team trying to maximize its potential, it's a worthwhile move to claim Slay and see what he can provide for the stretch run and in the postseason.
