Corner Darius Slay has no intention of attending the Detroit Lions' mandatory minicamp this week.

"I ain't going," Slay said Monday during an Instagram Live stream, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.

When asked why he plans to forgo minicamp, Slay responded: "Hey, man, I'm chilling."

The two-time Pro Bowler already forfeited a $250,000 bonus by skipping voluntary workouts and stands to be fined $88,000 if he misses all three days of the mandatory camp, according to Birkett.

Slay has two years remaining on his four-year extension signed in 2016. He'll earn a base salary of $12.5 million in 2019 and $10 million in 2020.

The corner is a staple in the Lions' secondary and has accumulated 13 interceptions over the past three seasons.
