On Sunday evening, Jacobs tweeted at Slay, offering him a spot on the team and stating that he knows the entire city of Detroit would love for Slay to return, and Slay responded.

The Big Picture: Jerry Jacobs is recruiting Darius Slay to Detroit Lions
The Lions are in need of defensive backs, and you can bet Brad Holmes has considered Slay. The team missed out on the opportunity to acquire Jalen Ramsey (they were reportedly interested), but they remain committed to finding players who can help bolster their defense. The recruitment of Slay by Jacobs highlights the team's continued efforts to strengthen their defensive backfield.
