Darius Slay unloads: Says his relationship w/ Matt Patricia was rough & he didn't respect Patricia as a person. Also said Patricia told him he wasn't a leader & that he had no business working out w/ Aqib Talib & Richard Sherman b/c those guys were elite & Slay was "just good."

Darius Slay isn't leaving the Lions quietly.
"I didn't have that much respect for Matty P as a person. It was hard for me to play for him," @_bigplayslay23 told WJR. pic.twitter.com/zQHdLklC0s

Patricia released a statement Thursday night:
“Over the last two seasons, Darius and I have had multiple conversations in private that I believed were constructive and satisfactory. My discussions with athletes are confidential and I won’t comment on anything discussed with our players in a team meeting. I appreciate his hard work and wish he and his family all the success in Philadelphia.”
Sounds like these two did not get along.
The NFL is all about relationships.
