Davis adds some depth at the linebacker position. Many thought the team would bring back linebacker Rashaan Evans after a solid 2022 campaign, but Evans is still waiting for a contract.

Davis began his career with the New York Giants in 2018 as an undrafted free agent. As a rookie, Davis racked up 33 tackles, four QB hits and two sacks while starting four games for New York.
