Davis, a veteran who started 13 games for the Lions in 2024, saw his season cut short by a jaw injury during Week 15. Despite this setback, Davis remains a highly sought-after defensive back in the free-agent market, with his future in Detroit uncertain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interest from the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_0,w_5747,h_3232\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/GettyImages\/mmsport\/53\/01jk8ygqvyg9sq60k6hp.jpg\" alt=\"Lions urged to sign under the radar cornerback as a potential Carlton Davis  pivot\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler, the Jacksonville Jaguars are poised to make a move for Carlton Davis in free agency. The Jaguars, lacking depth at the cornerback position in 2024, allowed the most passing yards per game in the league. Adding Davis to their roster would significantly bolster their defense, especially considering his impressive stats from the previous season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/23058284193,23095190701\/motociclismo_pt-medrectangle-3_0__container__\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-motociclismo_pt-medrectangle-3-0_charity\">\n<div>\n<p>Davis, who managed two interceptions and 11 passes defended in 2024, boasts a solid completion rate and passer rating when targeted. Pairing him with Tyson Campbell could elevate Jacksonville\u2019s secondary and potentially transform their defense into one of the best in the AFC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financial Outlook and Potential Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With an estimated $38 million in cap space, the Jaguars have the resources to pursue Davis, who is projected to command a contract worth approximately $14 million per year. This move could prove to be a strategic signing for Jacksonville, as they look to strengthen their defense and compete at a higher level in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore Carlton Davis&#8217; Jacksonville Jaguars deal, marking a pivotal shift in Detroit Lions&#8217; offseason.
