ESPN's Josina Anderson reports the Eagles will sign Slay to a three-year extension that agent Drew Rosenhaus confirms to be worth $50 million with $30 million guaranteed.
A native of Brunswick, GA, Slay appeared in 14 games for the Lions last season, recording 46 tackles and a pair of interceptions.
Taken in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Mississippi State, Slay was named to three straight Pro Bowls and was an All-Pro in 2017.
Slay has 19 picks in seven seasons with Lions, including a league-leading eight in 2017.
Slay had expressed a desire to move on from the Lions, airing his frustrations on Twitter.
