The Detroit Lions must sort through more than 30 restricted, unrestricted, and exclusive rights free agents this offseason.
Cornerback Carlton Davis, who was acquired in a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is at or near the top of the list.
Davis had one of his best seasons with the Lions, helping to stabilize one of the boundary cornerback spots while also acting as Terrion Arnold’s mentor and leader.
However, as has been the case throughout his career, Davis was unable to maintain his health, and his season ended early due to a fractured jaw sustained in Week 15. Davis has been in the NFL for seven years, but he has never participated in more than 14 games in a single season.
If the Lions want to get Davis back, they will face competition for his services because he will be among the best cornerbacks available on the free-agent market.
