Slay To The Eagles

Monster contract extension. Crazy money. He’s a good corner but sheesh!
Slay is a good corner and the Eagles need help there, but I don’t get it when teams give up draft picks for a guy, then sign a guy to a huge contract. Why not just sign one of the higher end FAs and just pay the $$, and hold onto your draft picks?
