If the Jaguars have serious interest in signing Slay and make a competitive contract offer, playing relatively close to home, and on a legit Super Bowl contender. could be the difference in the Jaguars landing Slay's services.

The only issue is what Cleatwood and I were talking about earlier. If Slay is strictly an outside corner, is he THAT much of an upgrade over Williams to justify the cost of having him not play full time since he struggles at nickel as well

This probably is at or near the top of the list of questions of whether the Jaguars should make a serious attempt to Darius Slay. 

While Slay is still amongst the NFL best CBs and has great intangibles, he probably will get a contract offer that would stretch the Jaguars salary cap as early as the 2024 season. With Trevor Lawrence probably getting a new contract in 2024, the cost to sign Slay more likely than not would exceed the overall benefit.
