EDTShareTweetShareShareDarius Slay not planning on attending mandatory minicampPhoto by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesDarius Slay has remained relatively quiet over the past few weeks. The Lions star cornerback has been absent throughout the Detroit Lions’ voluntary workouts including the first two weeks of OTAs. According to the Detroit Free Press, Slay is hoping for a new contract. Though the Lions’ All-Pro cornerback has two years remaining left on his deal, an argument could easily be made that he is getting underpaid in comparison to other top-tier cornerbacks.With mandatory minicamp on the horizon (they start on Tuesday), the question is whether Slay will show up or officially begin his holdout. On Monday afternoon, we may have gotten our answer.During an Instagram Live session, Slay was talking with his former teammate Crezdon Butler. Here’s the relevant portion of their conversation: Butler: Where you at? You in Brunswick?Slay: No Womens Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , I’m in Detroit, man. Finally get some heat.Butler: What y’all got? OTAs? I mean, minicamp?Slay: I don’t know, I ain’t goin.Butler: Why you ain’t goin, bro?Slay: Hey man, I’m chillin’ Womens Miles Killebrew Jersey , man.Butler: You chillin? You ain’t gonna get no money at OTAs anyways.Slay: Y’all know. Tell me about it. Note: It’s worth noting that Slay can, in fact, earn money by attending OTAs. Slay has a $250,000 workout bonus that is likely in jeopardy after missing the first two weeks.So unless something changes in the next 24 hours, it appears Slay will officially begin his holdout on Tuesday. In addition to Slay, Damon Harrison Sr. has also been absent from OTAs and is also seeking a new contract. However Womens Devon Kennard Jersey , the Lions have gone on record saying Harrison’s absence is not contract related. We’ll see on Tuesday if both are skipping out on minicamp.Lions - Patriots Week 3 snap count observations: Lions DBs steal the show Here are the snap counts for the Detroit Lions’ Week 3 win over the New England Patriots. Offense:QuarterbacksMatthew Stafford: 74 (100%)Running backsKerryon Johnson: 33 (45%)LeGarrette Blount: 26 (36%)Theo Riddick: 21 (28%)FullbacksNick Bellore: 4 (5%) — 17 special teams snaps (68%)Tight endsLuke Willson: 40 (54%) — 9 (36%)Levine Toilolo: 37 (50%) — 6 (24%)Hakeem Valles: 6 (8%)Wide receiversMarvin Jones Jr.: 67 (91%)Kenny Golladay: 65 (88%)Golden Tate: 55 (74%)TJ Jones: 13 (18%) — 1 (4%)Offensive tacklesTaylor Decker: 74 (100%) — 6 (24%)Rick Wagner: 74 (100%) — 6 (24%)Guards/centersGraham Glasgow: 74 (100%) — 6 (24%)Frank Ragnow: 74 (100%) — 6 (24%)T.J. Lang: 74 (100%) — 4 (16%)Kenny Wiggins: 3 (4%) — 6 (24%)Observations:Kerryon Johnson continues to garner the most snaps among the running backs, but this time, it wasn’t due to an injury or ejection to Blount. He still isn’t considered the starter yet, but it’s only a matter of time.Hakeem Valles took Michael Roberts’ place on the field this week, but didn’t do much of any work with the offense.A very minor note: T.J. Lang didn’t play in all of the special teams snaps he would normally play in. That suggests he may not be 100 percent healthy from his back injury. Hopefully he didn’t reaggravate anything, but the fact that he played every offensive snap is enough to think he’ll be fine. Defense:Defensive endRomeo Okwara: 40 (83%) — 1 (4%)Da’Shawn Hand: 23 (48%) — 2 (8%)Defensive tackleA’Shawn Robinson: 20 (42%) — 4 (16%)Sylvester Williams: 16 (33%) — 2 (8%)Ricky Jean Francois: 15 (31%) — 2 (8%)LinebackersDevon Kennard: 48 (100%) — 2 (8%)Jarrad Davis: 48 (100%) — 2 (8%)Christian Jones: 24 (50%) — 7 (28%)Eli Harold: 21 (44%) — 3 (12%)Jalen Reeves-Maybin: 11 (23%) — 15 (60%)Marquis Flowers: 0 (0%) — 12 (48%)CornerbacksQuandre Diggs: 48 (100%) — 5 (20%)Darius Slay: 48 (100%) — 6 (24%)Nevin Lawson: 48 (100%) — 12 (48%)Jamal Agnew: 22 (46%) — 9 (36%)DeShawn Shead: 13 (27%) — 6 (24%)Teez Tabor: 0 (0%) — 15 (60%)Dee Virgin: 0 (0%) — 14 (56%)SafetyGlover Quin: 48 (100%) — 2 (8%)Tavon Wilson: 22 (46%) — 7 (28%)Tracy Walker: 13 (27%) — 17 (68%)Miles Killebrew: 0 (0%) — 17 (68%)Charles Washington: 0 (0%) — 17 (68%)Observations:There’s a ton to digest here Kerryon Johnson Jersey , but look at those defensive line numbers. Outside of Romeo Okwara (which... wow), everyone saw a pretty significant decrease in their roles Sunday night, especially the defensive tackles. Sylvester Williams and Ricky Jean Francois barely played, as the Lions elected to go very linebacker/defensive back heavy.Speaking of the linebackers, the importance of Jarrad Davis and Devon Kennard to this team cannot be overstated. Both haven’t come off the field for a single snap in the past two weeks. Meanwhile with Ezekiel Ansah injured and Kerry Hyder a healthy scratch, Eli Harold saw a significant bump in playing time (along with Okwara).The Lions secondary had a phenomenal game Sunday night Womens A'Shawn Robinson Jersey , and part of it was likely due to the stability of the defensive backs. Four players never left the field: Quandre Diggs, Nevin Lawson, Darius Slay and Glover Quin. Speaking of defensive backs the Lions utilized DeShawn Shead and Tracy Walker effectively, especially when it came to neutralizing Rob Gronkowski for most of the night.
